If your dog goes missing, first look for your neighborhood, your usual walking location, or where your dog prefers. At the same time, please contact the nearest ward office or police department as soon as possible with the location and characteristics of the dog lost. The ward office can provide information about dogs protected in the ward. Also, it may be protected by citizens and veterinary hospitals, so search for all your findings.
If you put a dog's license tag or an injection slip on your dog, you can contact the registered owner from the ward office if you are protected. Be sure to attach dog's license tag and injection slips to your dog in case you get lost.
There are surprisingly few people who can accurately tell the characteristics of their dog without looking at the dog. Keep photos and records in case of emergency.
