Re: I found a dog with a AirTag and need to find it owner how can I do that

It is wonderful that the lost dog has someone to help him! Am no expert on AirTags, yet the info below may help.

You can useany device that has NFC (Near Field Communication), such as an iPhone or Android phone,

to see if the AirTag's owner marked it as lost and, if you can, help return it.

You can follow these steps to see if you can find information about the AirTag.

1. If you havefound an AirTag, hold the top of your iPhone or NFC-capable smartphone nearthe white side of the AirTag until a notification appears.
2. Tap the notification. This opens a website that provides information about the AirTag, including its serial number and the lastfour digits of the phone number of the person who registered it. This can help you identify the owner, if you know them. You might want to take a screenshot tomake sure that you can document the information.
3. If the owner markedthe AirTag as lost, you might seea message with information about how to contact the owner.

To learn more about an AirTag that’s been separated from its owner,:

scroll to the bottom of the Items tab, then tap Identify Found Item.

(If you need to see a list of all AirTag and Find My Network accessories about which you have been notified, launch the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.)

TapItems. Scroll to the bottom and tapItems Detected With You.

Items that have recently triggered a tracking alert will be listed.

The info. above comes from this linked article: What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag is with you.

Someone put an AirTag in my daughter’s car, underneath a floor mat. How can we find out who it belongs to? This is scary.

I'd contact the police if I were you.
