How you can help bring Pabst home
Lost dogs enter survival mode and perceive approaching strangers as threats. Please follow these expert recovery guidelines:
-
Check sheds, garages & under vehicles
With rain in the area, Pabst is almost certainly hunkered down seeking dry, secure cover under parked trucks/cars, inside open outbuildings, or under porches and decks.
-
Review Ring & security camera feeds
Please check your security and doorbell camera footage—especially clips from early morning (dawn) and dusk when lost pets typically move.
-
Do NOT shout his name or chase
Running toward him or shouting will startle him into running into busy roads or deeper into hiding. Stay still and quiet.
-
Treats motivated, but NO CONTACT
If you see him, you can gently toss treats or smelly food in his direction to keep him in the immediate area, but do NOT attempt to grab or corner him.
