What should I do if I lost my Yorkie Terrier dog?

If you have lost your dog, be sure to keep an eye on local shelters and put up posters in the area. Handing out flyers is another option, but it’s best to start by asking around in person. You can also look for lost-dog ads in community newspapers or post information about your dog at vet clinics.

Dog tags are important because they contain any identifying information that will help get your pet home to you quickly. There are several things that should be included on the tag: the owner’s name and address; a phone number where you can be reached both day and night; how far away from this location the dog has wandered (this allows people who find your dog some insight into whether she is likely nearby or having flown the coop); and the dog’s license number. If your pet is microchipped, it’s also a good idea to include that information on her tag.

You can also file a missing dog report with the police department, animal control agency or Humane Society in your area. You may want to check into what they require for fees before you go there — some agencies charge around $10 to enter a lost dog report, whereas others will do it free of charge. But even if you have to pay for this service, it might be worth it because having an official record of your loss could help with tracking down your pet later on.

One final tip: Avoid placing an ad in local newspapers unless absolutely necessary — they’re expensive and are often only read by a very small number of people. Instead, ask friends and family to spread the word about your missing pet over the Internet. Many communities have listservs where you can post information for free, or you may even want to create a Facebook page that will help keep all your friends updated.
