I am so sorry. I am sure you are absolutely frantic.
My dog is now over 14 years old but when she was about a year old on the 4th a bottle rocket landed next to her in our yard and she bolted. Somehow got out of the latched gate. I think the noise of it was so terrifying she was out of her mind with fear? Anyway, she was missing for three nights but she did come home on the fourth day.
I will be hoping for a similar happy outcome for you.
Also, I definitely agree with the recommendation to put DIRTY clothes outside for her to smell out.
When two of my dogs got out (thanks for making sure the gate was locked, XFIL), I told XH to leave a dirty shirt and bowls of food/water near the last place he saw them. Sure enough, one of them was curled up on his shirt the next morning.

Tweeter was the one we found. We had to put him down last Oct. My sweet old man.
Tritto Nextdoor. We found a little dog when we were out in our San Antonio hood last year. Poor guy was so scared of fireworks. We had him back home within an hour with ND photo post. With all the deer in Hollywood Park, he's probably on an adventure. I sure hope someone finds your pup soon and a reunion is quick!!!

My local Lost & Found Pets FB page always has recommendations for an organization called Dogs Finding Dogs; can you Google to see if your area has something similar?

This is a last ditch effort, but when our cat got lost, we actually hired a pet detective. It was a woman with a dog trained to track scents, so it's not totally crazy.
I didn't find my cat when I was out with with her, but he showed up a day later, which she said was typical of cats (they hide, then follow the scent of their owner back). Dh doesn't think it worked... But I'd do it again if I to.

I hope he's been found but if not please PM me the flyer as well. I don't live in town and WFH but my office is in the area and many of my coworkers live in the area. I can post it and I'm sure they will share too!
He is a big, strong healthy dog; he's also totally social. He doesn't like to be alone so I really do not think for one minute he is wandering around lost. I think either 1. He is dead in a field/ditch that is just not visible to the street or 2. someone has him.
I am so worried. It's really hot here, like 103*; too hot for a dog to be outsize. Plus he's a total jerk and will only drink water if he sees you pour it. Not "old" water for him!
I'm thinking about making a post about what he likes/dislikes.... remind someone how much he sheds. He's really a total pain in the ass but I would do anything to have him back and hair all over my house!

So sorry about your pup You may have already done so, but I would recommend reaching out to vets outside of your city/town. A few years ago a coworker's dog went missing from their back yard (they weren't sure if she escaped or was taken). She was brought to a vet 5 days later and 30 miles north, by someone who found her wandering (my coworker suspected that she escaped, was picked up and driven north, then either escaped again or was dropped off).
Also, a good friend was watching her sister's dog last summer and she escaped. Someone saw her running scared, picked her up and drove her home (about 10 miles away). The person who picked her up saw the missing dog post on Craigslist a few days later. Hang in there, and hope Jaws is home soon!
