Brown and white terrier mix, lost near Texas State campus
Description
I lost my brown-and-white terrier mix yesterday around 3pm near the Texas State University campus in San Marcos on Aquarena Springs Drive, by the LBJ Student Center. He's a medium-sized guy, about 20 pounds, with a bright red collar and a small silver tag that has my number. There’s a heart-shaped white patch on his chest and a tiny scar on his left hind leg that you can spot when he lies down. He’s a bit shy with strangers but warms up quickly, and he’s been my hiking buddy since I adopted him last year; this dog means the world to me. If anyone spots him, please text me—I’m really worried and would be so grateful to bring him home.

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.
