Record the exact location
Use Chennai plus the specific locality, road, apartment area or landmark. Add the date and approximate time. A precise location can help an owner compare the report with where the dog was last seen.
Photograph and describe what you can see
- Take a clear face photo and, when safe, a full-body photo.
- Record coat colour, approximate size and visible markings.
- Note collar or harness details without assuming ownership.
- Mention distinctive ears, tail, patches or scars that are actually visible.
- If breed is uncertain, describe appearance instead of guessing.
Help owners search safely
Keep the report factual and avoid publishing every identifying detail. You can retain one less-obvious feature so a claimant can demonstrate genuine knowledge of the dog. Share the report through appropriate local channels as well as FindMyPet India.
Verify before handover
A visual match alone is not enough. Ask a possible owner for older photographs, vaccination or veterinary information, or a private identifying detail. Avoid OTPs, bank details and requests for advance payments.
AI-assisted matching
AI Search can help surface possible similarities between a found dog's photo and existing reports. Treat it as a discovery aid and verify location, date, markings and ownership evidence independently.
Frequently asked questions
What if I cannot identify the breed?
Do not guess. Use visible colour, size, coat and markings.
Should I share my personal number publicly?
Share only what is necessary and use the platform's available contact flow where appropriate.
What should I do if the dog is injured?
Prioritise safe veterinary or animal-welfare assistance rather than relying only on an online report.
