When your dog is gone
The first steps — calmly, one at a time
-
Step 01
Search the area & call out
Stay near the last known spot at first and search the immediate area. Many dogs are frightened and hide nearby — call out in a calm, familiar voice, and don't chase after them.
-
Step 02
Create the poster & report it
Create and print the missing poster here. At the same time, call nearby shelters, vets and the lost-and-found office — that's where found dogs turn up first.
Step 03
Put it up & share online
Put it up around the last known location and share the image in local groups. The optional QR code on the poster lets finders call you directly with one scan.
Important: never chase a timid dog — it drives them further away. Instead, leave food and a familiar item of clothing at the last known spot.

What matters on a dog missing poster
02 Location
Where dog people are out and about
Around walking routes, dog meadows, parks and forest entrances. That's exactly where the people who first notice a stray dog are out and about.
03 Contact
Number large, reward optional
The phone number is the most important thing — the generator displays it large. A reward can be an extra incentive, but it's not a must.
Questions & answers
Dog missing — common questions
My dog has run off — what do I do first?
Stay calm and search the immediate area, calling out in a familiar voice. Notify nearby shelters, vets and the lost-and-found office. At the same time, create a missing poster here and share it online — the more people keeping an eye out, the better.
How do I create the poster?
Add a photo, fill in the details (breed, color, markings, last known location) and enter your number. The poster appears instantly in the preview; then download it as a PDF and print it. All free and without sign-up.
Should I chase after my timid dog?
No. A frightened dog usually just runs further away. Better: crouch down calmly on the spot, wait and coax. Food and a worn item of clothing at the last known spot can help bring them back.
What happens to my photo?
It stays on your device. The poster is created entirely locally in your browser — no upload, no account.
How do I prevent my dog from getting lost again?
A visible contact point on the collar ensures a finder reaches you immediately — without the dog having to be handed in somewhere first. That's exactly what the PetID does.

A poster helps in the area. A tag makes sure the finder reaches you instantly
