Answer by the long shot
Just take him along. Make sure he is trained to stay near and come when you call. I trained my German Shepherd to sniff out rabbits by giving him a cut of whatever I shot. Usually the head or a leg. If he gets a reward for finding the rabbit then he will want to go with you every time. My dog got to liking it too much. At 14 years old we had to tie him up at the house so he wouldn’t follow me out with the younger dog rabbiting. It was too much for him to take with his arthritis and all.

Question by potmonkey420: Where can I find a free dog/puppy in Michigan or close by?
I live in Michigan and am looking for a dog or preferably a puppy to join my family. This dog needs to get along with other animals or at least with other dogs. Size doesn’t matter. A small lap dog or a large dog, I will love it either way. I own two other dogs, both in which are friendly. I am looking for something really cheap or maybe even free. Mutts are fine. Thank you for contributing to my question.

Loosing your dog can be a very worrying time for the most calm of us, and whether the blame was on you or it was on other circumstances, finding the lost dog should be your number one priority, the quicker you get started on looking for your dog, the quicker you will find them.
First you should keep calm and asses the situation properly; over-worrying will cause you to forget things that seem common sense to others. Start by closing all the doors in your house and properly searching your home. Dogs can find their way into most places unimaginable to us humans so look in every place possible and places you think would be impossible.
After you have search your house and dishwasher, clothes dryer, washing machine, and attic you will have to start to look outside, look in al the places your dog like to go to start with , then if not found, start to scour your neighbourhood looking underneath cars, hedges and bushes asking and taking to everyone on your travels.
If after searching your neighbourhood for your dog you do not find them, then the next day you should continue the same routine as the previous day, shouting your dogs name at all times and listening for any response.
After this stage, finding the numbers for local vets or pet health care services in your area may be a good idea to see if any injured or lost animals of your dog’s description have been rescued or found within the last few days. If not then flyers with a picture and a phone number should be posted and put up within a mile radius of your home, and checking the ‘found’ pages in the newspapers to look for any results.
If you follow the steps above you secure the best chance of finding your pet alive and well in a quick timescale and without too much worry.
Always remember to take down and remove the flyers after you have found you dog to maintain a good relationship with the people around you and a clean neighbourhood.
