Description
Hi, I lost my blue reflective dog leash this afternoon around 4pm in Fairbanks. It’s a Ruffwear Front Range leash, about 6 feet long, bright cobalt blue with reflective stitching. There’s a tiny white paw-print charm on the metal clip and a small fray near the handle from daily use. I last had it while walking near the Morris Thompson Cultural Center on College Road, and I’ve been panicked since—my rescue dog responds to that leash and it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please text me; I’d really appreciate getting it back so we can continue our daily walks.

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.
