You need to put a safety cage / Have a Heart trap out where the dog was last seen (get homeowner's permission, if necessary). Bait it with a fresh rotisserie chicken (with bones removed). Put a cellular trail cam aimed right at it, so you can monitor the trap. Good luck.

Do you have a local ACO that can help with these things? They probably have access to the trap and trail cam, you're on your own for the delicious chicken, though.

Ha ha thank you for the tip. Just bought a chicken and we are working with someone from Mass pets who is coming tomorrow with a trap to set. I’m praying hard.

I’ve seen giant coyote sized have-a-heart traps at tractor supply, they are huge, would definitely fit a dog. It might be worth grabbing a couple of those too, they were expensive but it’s worth it to get your dog back and you can probably sell them after, the more traps that are out there the better your odds are

Awesome! It's a good method with a high success rate in cases where you've had a recent sighting of the lost dog.

I'm sending positive thoughts.
