Beagle mix with blue reflective collar, lost near Seawall Blvd
Description
I’m Priya Patel. I lost my beagle-mix dog yesterday around 3:15pm near The Strand on Postoffice Street, by the Seawall at 61st Street in Galveston. He’s about 25 pounds, brindle with a white chest, and wears a blue reflective collar with a pink paw-print name tag that says Nova. He’s generally friendly but can be anxious around loud crowds, and he has a small white blaze on his nose along with a tiny scar on his left hind leg from a past adventure. We just adopted him last month, and he means the world to us; this has been really tough. If you spot him, please reply here so we can coordinate.

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.
