Lost dog: Black Lab mix with red collar
Description
I lost my black Labrador mix, about 65 pounds, yesterday around 3pm near Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. He's got a shiny black coat with a small white patch on his chest, and a bright red collar with a blue bone-shaped tag. There’s a noticeable scar behind his right ear, and he tends to limp a little on his left hind leg after an old injury. He’s friendly once he knows you, but he can be wary of strangers, so he might back away at first. This dog means everything to me—he’s family and has a lot of sentimental value. If you’ve seen him or picked him up, please reach out; I’ll come to meet you anywhere in South Florida 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.
