Brown lab mix with red collar, white chest
Description
I lost my brown lab mix with a red collar and a small white chest patch yesterday around 3pm. He bolted from the car outside the Walmart on Edwin Miller Boulevard in Martinsburg, darting toward the railroad tracks by the CSX crossing. He’s about 60 pounds, very friendly, and has a tiny scar above his left eyebrow; there’s also a blue harness with a chipped tag tucked under his fur. He’s part of our family and I’m really hoping to get him back—he’s my hiking buddy and this dog means the world to us. If you’ve seen him, drop a note through this listing so we can arrange a safe meetup near the Martinsburg shelter.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
