Description
I lost my beagle-lab mix yesterday around 7pm near Pullman Square in downtown Huntington, Southern WV. He's about 45 pounds, tri-color with a brown head, white chest, and black back, and he wears a red nylon collar with a silver tag that reads 'Champ'. He has a distinctive white heart-shaped patch on his chest and his right ear is slightly folded. I’m really worried—he’s friendly but skittish around strangers, and we rescued him last year; this dog is family and means the world to me. If anyone finds him, please contact me as soon as possible.

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.
