Black Labrador mix with red harness
Description
Yesterday around 4:15pm I was walking my black Labrador mix, Scout, near the Hanford Market on 8th Street when he slipped out of his red harness and bolted. He’s about 60 pounds, with shiny fur and a tiny white crescent on his chest, plus a blue collar with a bone-shaped ID tag. I’ve retraced from the Hanford Library down Irwin Street toward the Community Park, but I can’t find him. He’s super friendly but gets anxious around traffic, and he’s a rescue with a lot of sentimental value to our family. If anyone spots him near the Dairy Queen on 9th Street or by the park entrance, please message me. I miss him already.

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.
