Golden-brown dog with red collar and blue tag
Description
I lost my golden-brown mixed-breed dog yesterday around 3pm near Torrington's Main Street in Northwestern CT, outside the CVS in downtown Torrington. She's about 40 pounds with a short coat, white chest, and a small white patch on the left front paw. She wears a bright red collar and a blue bone-shaped tag that says 'Mira'. There’s a tiny scar on her right ear from a past scrape. She’s friendly but shy with strangers, and this dog means the world to us—she was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value. If you’ve seen her, please email me at [email protected].

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.
