Found: small white terrier mix with red collar
Description
I found a small white terrier mix this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Big Four Bridge entrance by Waterfront Park in Louisville. The pup weighs about 12-14 pounds and has a light tan patch over the left eye with a slightly droopy left ear. He's wearing a bright red collar with a silver bone-shaped tag—tag looks a bit worn and has a phone number on it. He’s pretty friendly once you sit on the ground, but he can be a little jumpy at first. He seems well cared for, so I’m hoping to get him back to his owner quickly; if you know who he belongs to, please reach out so we can arrange a safe meetup near the park.

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.
