Have flyers made quickly with a photo of
your dog, and get them up everywhere, i.e. in grocery stores, drug stores,
parking lots. Put them in as many mailboxes as possible.
Offer a reward on your flyer to give
people incentive. The greater the reward, the greater the incentive for many
people.
Call ALL the shelters and animal control
facilities in your area; call them every day because they change employees and
new dogs arrive daily Send a flyer with photo to post in their office.

if you can post flyers. Give flyers to as many local children as possible.
Call ALL the boxer rescues AND all breed

Call ALL the veterinarians in and around
your area. Send flyers with photo to post in their office and parking lots.
Put up flyers with your dog’s picture all
over your neighborhood and within several miles. Dogs can travel several miles
on their own.
Ask the local police and fire departments
if you can put a flyer up where their officers will see it so they too can be on
the lookout during their patrols.

craigslist, put an ad in any
local papers in your area.
Drive your neighborhood and surrounding
areas EVERY day looking for your dog.
Knock on doors in and around your area.
Show people the dog’s picture and ask if they have seen your dog! Ask
neighborhood kids who are out playing; they see a lot!
Think of all the people who drive around
your area (postal trucks, garbage trucks, pizza delivery drivers, UPS, Fed Ex,
bus drivers, taxi drivers, etc). Give them flyers with a photo of your dog.
This is hard, but call the county roads
department and talk to the animal carcass pick up division. Ask them to ask
their drivers if they have picked up the body of a boxer. It isn’t an easy call
to make, but at least you would know.
