Record exactly where the dog was found
Include the node and sector plus a road, building, park, station, market or other landmark. Record the approximate time and update the report if the dog moves.
Take useful identification photos
Use clear photos showing the face, ears, coat pattern, body shape and any visible collar or markings. Avoid publishing every unique identifier so a genuine owner can provide private proof.
Help the dog safely
If safe, keep the dog away from traffic and stressful situations. Avoid forcing contact with a frightened or aggressive animal. Local vets, feeders, rescuers and security staff may help identify the dog.
Verify the claimant
Before handover, ask for older photos, vaccination records or another identifying detail that was not publicly disclosed. Do not rely only on a collar, name or verbal claim.
AI Search can support identification
A photo match is only a lead. Compare several visual features and ownership evidence before deciding that a found dog belongs to a claimant.
FAQs
What location details should I provide?
Node, sector, nearby landmark, date and approximate time are more useful than only writing Navi Mumbai.
Should I publish my phone number?
Use the website's contact/report flow rather than putting personal contact details in a public post.
How do I avoid giving a pet to the wrong person?
Keep one or two unique identifiers private and ask the claimant to prove ownership before handover.
