Found dog: tan beagle-terrier with red collar
Description
I found a dog this afternoon around 3:30pm near the Ashland Library on Siskiyou Blvd in Medford-Ashland. It's a medium-sized tan-and-white beagle-terrier mix, about 35 pounds, with a bright red collar and a small round tag that's a bit worn. There's a white patch on his chest and a faint heart-shaped mark on his left hind leg. He came from the Lithia Park area and seemed comfortable with a leash, wagging his tail when I crouched to pet him. I'd really like to reunite him with his owner; if this sounds like your dog, please reach out and we'll arrange a meetup near the library.

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.
