Kona never charges to reunite a pet. A real finder will never ask you to pay, send gift cards, or wire money to get your dog back. Never send money to someone you have not met in person.

Arrange any meeting in a public, well-lit place such as a vet clinic, shelter, or a police-station safe-exchange lot. Never meet at your home, bring someone with you, and confirm the dog in person before any handover.
