Description
Found a medium-sized beagle mix this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Fredericksburg Farmer's Market on Caroline Street. It’s wearing a blue collar with a brass tag that reads Milo and has a tiny white heart-shaped patch on its chest. The dog is friendly and clearly used to people, wagging its tail and leaning into me as I approached. One ear flops more than the other, and a frayed red leash is still attached to the collar. I’m hoping to get Milo back to his people—if this sounds like your dog, message me and we can coordinate a meet-up in downtown Fredericksburg.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
