Found neon teal dog collar with paw-tag
Description
I found a neon teal dog collar this afternoon around 3:15pm along the River's Edge Trail, near the 3rd Street South crossing by Giant Springs Park in Great Falls. It's a nylon collar about 1 inch wide with reflective stitching and a small bone-shaped metal tag stamped 'MILO' on the D-ring. The buckle shows a bit of wear and there are a few dog hairs snagged on it, but otherwise it's in good shape. Milo must belong to someone who cares—it's clearly sentimental, and I’d really like to see it go back to its owner. If you recognize the collar, shoot me a message and we can arrange a quick meet-up near the park entrance to return it.

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.
