Start with the last confirmed location
Add the Chennai locality, street or nearby landmark rather than only writing Chennai. Record the date and approximate time. Check the immediate route first and ask security staff, shopkeepers, delivery workers, neighbours and regular walkers whether they saw the dog.
What to include in a lost-dog report
- Recent front-face and full-body photos.
- Coat colour, breed if known, size and gender.
- Collar or harness colour and distinctive patches, scars, tail or ear features.
- Last-seen locality, landmark, date and approximate time.
- Behavioural details that may help someone recognise the dog.
Search smarter in Chennai
Recheck the last-seen area at different times, especially when streets are quieter. Keep the report link and one clear photo ready for local groups and rescuers. Revisit found-dog reports because a possible match can appear after the initial search.
Using AI-assisted photo search
You can upload a pet photo to FindMyPet India's AI Search to review possible visual similarities. Treat AI results as leads, not proof: compare location, dates, markings and ownership evidence before concluding that a report is your dog.
Safety and privacy
Do not publish sensitive personal information unnecessarily. If someone claims to have your dog, ask for reasonable proof such as older photos or a distinctive feature before arranging a handover. Be cautious of OTP, payment or advance-money requests.
Frequently asked questions
What location should I enter?
Use Chennai plus the most specific locality or landmark you can verify.
Should I guess the breed?
No. If you are unsure, describe the visible size, coat and features instead of making an uncertain breed claim.
Can AI confirm my dog?
No. AI-assisted matching helps surface possible similarities; ownership should be verified using independent evidence.
