Found medium dog with blue harness in Northeast SD
Description
I found a dog this afternoon around 2:15pm wandering near the Northeast SD Community Center at 3rd Street and Main. It's a tan and white mixed-breed, about knee-high, with a bright blue reflective harness and a small silver tag on the collar. The dog has a white heart-shaped patch on the chest and comes when I call the name Mojo, but I didn't see an owner nearby. I checked for a microchip at the Brookside Veterinary Clinic on Maple Ave, no chip found. I'm keeping him safe near the corner by the community center and really hope to reunite him with his family. If this is your dog or you know the owner, please contact me.

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.
