I've found a lost dog, but I can't read the identification on their collar. What should I do?

Here are some suggestions that may help with returning a lost dog. Make sure to look up local laws and regulations regarding lost animals before proceeding.

1. Contact the local relevant authorities: This is especially true if the dog is aggressive. You should not put yourself in harm's way to capture or restrain an aggressive animal. If there are specific guidelines in your area for the handling of lost or stray dogs, the relevant authorities, like animal control, should be able to inform you of them. 
2. Leave the dog with an animal shelter: If you are unable to take care of the dog for an extended period of time, it may be best to leave it at an animal shelter. It is best to research what resources, facilities, and services are available and willing in your area to accept the dog before you drop off the dog.
3. Post on social media: Social media groups that are local to your area might be able to spread awareness of a lost dog, and thus help you return it to its owner. Note that it remains important to take care with posting personal or private information online.
4. Ask neighbors in the area: It may be logical to surmise that the dog's owner is not too far from where you found the dog. Introducing yourself and the situation politely to neighbors in the area could result in a quick resolution.
5. Put up a flyer or poster: If you are able to take care of the dog for an extended period of time, you could put up a flyer or poster alerting people to the dog. It is important to include a description of the dog as well as a photo in order to help the owner identify that it is indeed their dog.
6. Check with a vet: Perhaps the dog is microchipped; it may be useful to contact a vet who may help with identifying the owner if the dog has indeed been chipped.
