Description
I lost my two dogs on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. after we paused for a walk in Ft Myers / SW Florida, Florida, near the Edison Mall and the Bell Tower Shops area in Fort Myers. Benny is a brown beagle with a white chest; Penny is a small terrier with wiry fur. They usually stay close, but they slipped their leash and disappeared into the residential streets. I’m worried and my kids are counting the minutes until they’re home again. If you’ve seen them, please help guide them back to us through the site; I’m grateful for the community’s help.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
