Be sure to post ads in these three categories. However, CL does not allow duplicate ads. Use a photo or flyer as an image and only use a letter or punctuation at text, and change it up for each ad, with a play on the headline as well. Use different headlines such as: brown and white dog, Misty is missing, lost dog female. Change it up on each ad.
