Our Approach…

When needed, K9-RSQ is here to help reunite you with your missing dog.

It’s not unusual for dogs to become separated from their owners. This often happens when a dog is off-leash and gets startled by something, like a sudden loud noise such as a car backfiring or fireworks. They can even be spooked by other dogs.

As a result, your dog may run off. In a state of fear, it might not respond to your calls and enter what’s known as flight or survival mode.

Another common reason dogs go missing is when they escape from home or the yard, sometimes just out of curiosity.

Dogs left unattended in gardens often find ways out of what seems like a secure space. A gate left open for a few seconds by a window cleaner or kids forgetting to close it can lead to an unplanned adventure.
