Exactness is not a virtue when initially matching a found notice to your lost pet, because the notice contains only information as viewed by another person who may not know anything about your pet. One person's Beagle mix, is another person's Hound mix, is a Rottweiler mix, is a Setter mix, etc. If the location is wrong, or the sex or age is wrong, call anyway. If the colors are vague or missing, call anyway. If the collar color or type, etc., is wrong, call anyway.
Collars come and go.
If the age is wrong, call anyway. It's all in the eye of the beholder. 528 Hello, we found our dog yesterday. Thank you for your help. LOST CAT Melbourne Lost on April 26, 2001.
