🎯 National Dog Month Day 7 🎯
🪤Trapping Truths Thursday 🪤
*(Please share, this is vital information)
❗️Let’s talk about something that saves lives: doing it the right way when a dog is lost and needs to be trapped…
🪤 At Rescue Tails, we trap dogs regularly, owned dogs and stray dogs. We use box traps, laser-activated traps, kennels that can be built different sizes, and methods that have worked time and time again. Why? Because every trapping situation teaches us something new. We don’t guess…we learn, adapt, and apply. 🧠
➡️ But here’s the honest truth: when people ignore trapper advice, it often makes recovery harder, longer, and more dangerous for the dog.
❗️Flyers matter❗️
👉 Hanging flyers on poles, signs, stop signs, at intersections, etc. reaches way more people than handing them out at stores.
👉 Flyers work even when social media doesn’t because they reach drivers, mail carriers, delivery folks, people just passing through, and those not on social media at all.
👉 Most importantly, they help connect sightings to your dog! Someone sees your dog running, then sees your flyer and knows exactly who to call.
👉 You must get boots on the ground with flyers.
💻 We once created a flyer, sent the PDF, and provided clear instructions. The owner told us they hung them, they did not. The dog ran for miles near multiple busy roads, including a highway. People chased the dog, food wasn’t placed at sightings, and someone put a box trap out and moved it constantly with no pattern, no camera, no supervision. Multiple cats were caught and left in the sun. That dog never made it home.💔 It didn’t have to end that way.
♥️ We get it, you’re scared, you’re desperate, you want your dog back. But please listen to the trappers. 👂 It might not make sense to you, and it might not be what you want to hear but we say it because we’ve done this over and over and over. We’ve learned what works.
🛑 Taking advice from Facebook strangers or doing what “seems like a good idea” often prolongs the process and puts your dog at even greater risk.
✅ Want proof? Check out the Trapping with Rescue Tails, SC page and other lost pet recovery pages. Many of the success stories are due to flyers!
📱Many trappers have full-time jobs, families, pets, and other rescue responsibilities, all while helping bring your dog home. We’ll stay in touch, answer questions, set trail cams, and even come out in the middle of the night to trap if needed. But we can only do so much. It’s your dog, and your involvement is key. Hang flyers, follow the plan, and ask friends, family, and social media connections to help hang them. 📌
🙏 So please trust the process. Hang the flyers. Follow the plan. Help us help you bring your dog home safely.

LOST DOG -
Hwy 90 & 57 in Longs/Little River area.
Russell does so much for ALL animals in our area & he needs our help now! 🙏
Every July 5th, our county’s Lost Pets page is overflowing with heartbroken families searching for dogs that were terrified by fireworks and escaped.
If your dog is missing, time matters.
Here are some of the most important things you can do:
🐾 Put out your dog’s bed, your worn clothing, blankets, or anything that smells like home. Leave fresh food and water nearby, and if possible, place a trail camera or security camera on the area to see if your dog returns.
🐾 Post your dog everywhere!
Facebook, neighborhood groups, local lost pet pages, and neighborhood apps. Ask people to report sightings, but please ask them not to chase your dog.
🐾 Make flyers immediately. Keep them simple:
• LOST DOG in large letters at the top.
• One clear photo in the middle.
• Your phone number in large print at the bottom.
That’s it.
People need to be able to drive by and instantly recognize what they’re looking at.
Don’t just hand flyers to businesses. Actually go hang them on utility poles, street signs, and intersections throughout the area where your dog was last seen. Secure them well, and once your dog is home, go back and remove them.
If someone reports seeing your dog, ask if they’ll leave food and water out. If they have outdoor cameras, see if they can point one toward the area. Knowing when and where your dog is returning can make all the difference.
One of the hardest things for owners to understand is something called Lost Dog Syndrome.
When many dogs get loose, they enter survival mode. Their brain switches into fight-or-flight, and suddenly everything, even the people they love most, can feel like a threat. Your sweet, friendly family dog may run from you, ignore you, or seem like they don’t recognize you.
As hard as it is, chasing them or calling frantically often makes them run farther.
If your dog won’t come to you, your goal is to keep them comfortable and returning to one safe location where food, water, and a camera are waiting. If they continue visiting that spot, they can often be safely recovered, and if necessary, humanely trapped. If trapping appears necessary, we may be willing to help with that as well, but only if you’re open to following the process we use, which has been proven to successfully reunite owners and dogs. Reach out to us here on Messenger or at 843-933-9596. If we don’t answer, please send a text message.
If you see someone post about a lost dog and you want to help, one of the biggest ways you can help is by offering to help hang flyers.
It isn’t glamorous. It’s hot, it’s tedious, and it takes time.
But it works! ✅
We’ve reunited more owned dogs with the help of flyers! Many not even needing to be trapped.
Social media is an incredible tool, but it’s only one tool. Not everyone uses Facebook. Not everyone follows local lost pet pages. Visitors driving through town certainly don’t.
Here, unfortunately, dumped dogs are common. Someone may see your dog wandering and simply assume it’s another stray instead of realizing a family is desperately searching for them.
If you need a flyer made, send us a message. We’ll gladly create a printable PDF for you as quickly as possible so you can get copies printed and start hanging them.
If you’re requesting help locating your dog, every trapper has their own process, but I don’t know a single experienced trapper who won’t tell you the same thing:
Get those flyers up immediately.
They truly save lives and bring families back together.
💚 And finally, if you’d like to support the work we do, donations are always appreciated. Your generosity helps cover bait, fuel, monthly trail camera service, trapping equipment and supplies, and veterinary care for stray dogs that have no one to claim them. When we’re able to take those dogs into our rescue, your donations help give them the medical care and second chance they deserve.
Thank you to everyone who shares posts, hangs flyers, reports sightings, donates, fosters, and helps bring lost pets home. It truly takes a community. 🌎

🎆 Fireworks can be fun for us, but they’re terrifying for many pets. Every year, shelters and rescues are flooded with lost dogs after fireworks because they panic and run.
Please don’t assume your dog will be okay because they’ve “never done that before.” You’d be amazed at how many dogs jump fences, break tie-outs, slip collars, or bolt through an open door during fireworks—even dogs that have never tried to escape before.
🐾 Keep your pets indoors before it gets dark.
🐾 Make sure they have a secure collar with ID tags.
🐾 If you need to take them outside, keep them on a leash, even in your own fenced yard. It only takes a second for a frightened dog to disappear.
If you want to get your dog microchipped before it gets dark today, send me a message. A microchip can be the difference between your pet making it back home or becoming another missing pet statistic.
It’s much easier to prevent a tragedy than to spend the night desperately searching for a scared, missing family member. Let’s keep our pets safe this holiday. ❤️🐶🎇
If you like to support our mission, we’d be so grateful ♥️
