How to Help

Flyering supplies and a master map are available at Dog Paws 'n Cat Claws University, 940 S. George Mason Dr., Arlington, VA 22204. Come by any time they are open.

If you speak to people, explain not to call her or chase her (unless there’s a group of people who might be able to corner her). Please leave their gate open in the hopes she will choose their yard as a hiding spot. Ask them to put stinky food out. Tuna, canned dog or cat food, etc. And/or kibble and water. Ask them to call if they hear howling.

Please don’t go through people’s yards, etc., without permission. We need the neighbors to like us and help us, not get mad at us.

1. Take a stack of the LOST DOG BEAGLE flyers. Pick a street or streets on the map that aren’t highlighted in yellow yet. Highlight them in yellow if you are going there. Go door to door. Knock if willing. Leave a flyer at each house. IT IS ILLEGAL TO PUT ANYTHING IN SOMEONE’S MAILBOX.

2. Take a stack of the LOST DOG flyers that are in plastic sleeves, a roll of tape, a staple gun, and extra staples (light duty if smaller staple gun, heavy duty if bigger staple gun). Pick a street or streets on the map that aren’t highlighted in pink yet. Highlight them in pink if you are going there.  Tape or staple flyers to stop signs, telephone poles, trees, etc. Think strategically about where they will be seen the most by car and foot.

3. Take a stack of the LOST DOG flyers and tacks and go to businesses and community buildings and vets in the area and post on doors and bulletin boards if they will allow it (please ask).
