Description
I found a dog this afternoon around 3:20 pm wandering near Marathon Park along the river trail in Wausau. He’s a medium-sized mixed breed, about 45 pounds, with a tan-and-white coat and a distinctive black patch over his left eye. He wears a bright blue nylon collar with a small round tag from a local vet. One ear sticks up while the other flops, and he has a friendly, wiggly temperament; he came right to me when I called him “boy.” I checked for a phone number on the tag but didn’t see one. If this sounds like your dog, please reach out so we can 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.
