Blue reflective dog harness with bone tag
Description
I lost my blue reflective dog harness yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on SW College Road in Ocala. It's a medium nylon harness with a bright blue color and a white reflective stripe along the chest, plus a small bone-shaped name tag that reads 'Nova'. The buckle is mildly worn and there are a couple of scuffs from rough play, but it's otherwise in good condition. Nova is a rescue and this harness means a lot to us, so I really need it back. If you happened to find it, I’d be beyond grateful; you can drop it at Ocala Animal Services or message me here, and I’ll pick it up as soon as I can.

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.
