Found beagle near Camelback Mountain, tan and white
Description
Found a medium-sized beagle this afternoon around 3:15pm wandering near the Camelback Mountain trailhead parking lot in Tannersville, not far from Camelback Resort. He’s tan and white, about 40 pounds, with a blue nylon collar and a round brass tag that reads 'Nova.' There’s a small heart-shaped patch of white on his chest and one ear that tilts when he listens to noises. He seems friendly and relieved to have a human nearby, but he’s a bit tired and clearly someone is missing him. I’m keeping him safe on a leash and hoping to get him back to his family in the Poconos. If this is your dog, tell me the name on the tag and what town you last saw him.

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.
