Description
I found a friendly dog this afternoon around 4:15pm wandering near the Potsdam Public Library on Park Street. It's a beagle mix, about 25 pounds, tan with a white chest and a white-tipped tail, wearing a blue harness and a round metal tag that says Milo. He seems well-cared for, wagging his tail and soaking up ear rubs, and he has a small notch scar on his right hind leg. I checked for a microchip but didn't see one. I brought him to a safe spot by the library steps and I'll stay here to help reunite him with his family; if this is your dog, I'm here to help get him home.

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.
