Find the Dogs [163] is a scavenger hunt experience by FindGames Academy where the whole goal is filling the Dogs Index. The map is split into themed islands connected by a teleport menu, and most dogs sit in plain view once you know which roof, cave, or basement to check. The ones that stall players are the handful locked behind carried items, two number codes, three paw prints, and two minigames.
Quick answer: Sweep each island in teleport-menu order and pick up the Burger Toy, Golden Bone, Magic Wand, Frisbee, and Plank as you pass them, note the codes 1255 and 1566 for the two keypads, and collect three paw prints on the church island to open the next region. Everything else is a straight search.
Items, codes, and gates that lock dogs
Five carried items and two keypad codes control access to specific dogs. Grab each one the moment you walk past it, because backtracking across islands costs far more time than the pickup itself.
| Item or code | Where it is and what it opens |
|---|---|
| Burger Toy | Inside a cave in the forest area. Needed for BiewerTerrier at the Pet Center. |
| Golden Bone | Required for OldEnglishSheepdog on the platform over water. |
| Magic Wand | On a shelf inside the modern house, near the kitchen dogs. |
| Frisbee | Picked up in a modern house room. Needed for CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel. |
| Plank | Found near the red-roof houses; used to bridge a gap. |
| Code 1255 | Written on a table in the ice cream parlor basement. Opens the keypad door hiding WirehairedPointingGriffon. |
| Code 1566 | On a shelf in the server room. Entered at the keypad past the bus shelter. |
| Three paw prints | Collected around the church island to unlock the following island. |
Spawn island dog locations
The starting island holds thirteen dogs and teaches the two patterns you will use everywhere else. Look under structures, and climb anything that has a ladder or stacked blocks. The well obby and the windmill both require a short platforming run.
| Dog | Location |
|---|---|
| DogueDeBordeaux | Under the red doghouse |
| GoldenRetriever | Beside the wooden fence |
| BoykinSpaniel | Underground, down a ladder |
| MiniatureAmericanShepherd | Bedroom of the spawn house |
| GiantSchnauzer | On top of a rock |
| BorderTerrier | On top of the blue windmill |
| WestHighlandWhiteTerrier | Inside the windmill tower, up the red blocks |
| IrishWolfhound | In the well, after the purple block obby |
| GermanShepherd | Inside the stack of wooden barrels |
| BorderCollie | Inside the laboratory capsule |
| Collie | In a barn stall |
| AustralianShepherd | Outside the stone house |
| PembrokeWelshCorgi | By the fireplace inside the stone house |
Once the island is clear, open the teleport menu. It is the fastest way to move between regions and lets you return to earlier islands if you skipped an item.
Ruins, forest, and cabin dog locations
This stretch mixes rooftops, a crystal cave, and a temple with a red floor obby. The Burger Toy sits in a forest cave here, and the cabin is filled with bear traps, so move along the edges of the floor.
| Dog | Location |
|---|---|
| BelgianTervuren | On a roof, up a ladder |
| GermanWirehairedPointer | Inside the purple crystal cave |
| YorkshireTerrier | By the stone fountain |
| Bloodhound | Inside the stone temple ruin |
| DobermanPinscher | In the temple, past the red floor obby |

| EnglishSpringerSpaniel | Inside the bear trap cabin |
| Beagle | On a forest roof |
| Brittany | On the forest floor |
Snow peak, sky, and modern house dog locations
The mountain climb leads into a cloud section, which is where OldEnglishSheepdog waits on a platform over water. That one will not appear without the Golden Bone in hand. The modern house that follows holds the Magic Wand on a shelf and four dogs spread across the playground outside.
| Dog | Location |
|---|---|
| SwissMountainDog | Snowy mountain peak |
| BerneseMountainDog | Snowy slope |
| Vizsla | Snowy ledge |

| CotonDeTulear | On the play structure |
Ice cream parlor dogs and keypad code 1255
The parlor runs across three levels. Clear the shop floor, then the kitchen, then the basement, where the number 1255 is written on a table. Keep the run toggle on the toolbar active while you sweep the interior, since the building is larger than it looks from outside.
| Dog | Location |
|---|---|
| AmericanStaffordshireTerrier | Inside the blue bus |
| ItalianGreyhound | Inside the blue tunnel |
| MiniatureSchnauzer | Ice cream parlor shop floor |
| LagottoRomagnolo | Parlor kitchen |

| WirehairedPointingGriffon | Behind the keypad door (code 1255) |
| RussellTerrier | On top of the giant ice cream cone |
| EnglishSetter | In a dumpster |
| BluetickCoonhound | Inside the purple house |
Docks, construction site, and server room dog locations
Two items and one code come from this area. The Frisbee is inside a modern house room, the Plank is near the red roofs, and code 1566 is on a shelf in the server room. Write both codes down before moving on, because the second keypad is on a later island.
| Dog | Location |
|---|---|
| Newfoundland | Inside a boat |
| Rottweiler | Inside a boat container |
| StaffordshireBullTerrier | In the sand and gravel pile |

| Bulldog | On the soccer goal |
Circus, hotel, and Pet Center dog locations
Five dogs sit inside the circus tent alone, so search it fully before leaving. BiewerTerrier inside the Pet Center is the check on your Burger Toy; without the item you will reach the building and find nothing to interact with.
| Dog | Location |
|---|---|
| BlackandTanCoonhound | Circus tent |
| BergerPicard | Circus tent |
| Pumi | Circus tent |
| RedboneCoonhound | Circus tent |

| BiewerTerrier | Inside the Pet Center (Burger Toy required) |
| TollingRetriever | On a roof |
| Lowchen | Inside the lava cave |
| ClumberSpaniel | Inside the church |
Before you can leave this region, collect the three paw prints scattered around it. The gate to the next island stays shut until all three are picked up.
Minigame dogs: Hotdog run and doghouse rebuild
Two dogs are rewards rather than hidden objects. Dachshund appears only after you finish the hotdog collecting minigame, and AmericanHairlessTerrier appears after you finish the doghouse rebuilding minigame near the castle. Both can be replayed if you fail, and neither requires an item.
Space station, houses, and castle dog locations
The second keypad sits past the bus shelter and takes code 1566. Beyond it, the route runs through a portal room, an igloo, a rocket, and a space station before dropping back into a residential block. CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel here is the payoff for the Frisbee.
| Dog | Location |
|---|---|
| ScottishTerrier | Inside the red dome |
| Dalmatian | Inside the red dome |
| ShetlandSheepdog | Inside the bus shelter |

The castle above the houses adds five more. SwedishVallhund is in the maze, TibetanMastiff in the library, Affenpinscher in the treasure room, KerryBlueTerrier in a hallway, and BeardedCollie on the outer wall.
Western town and dungeon dog locations
The saloon alone hides six dogs, including one in its bathroom, so clear every room before you head to the jail. The dungeon below the town holds three more, and a high platform nearby has the last of the region.

How to confirm the Dogs Index is complete
Open the Dogs Index at any time to check progress. Collected dogs fill in their slots, and empty slots tell you exactly which breed you still owe, which is faster than retracing an island by memory. Badges also confirm progress along the way, including one that awards at 20 dogs found.
The index also has a “New” section listing recently added dogs. Thirty were added in a single update alongside new islands and hiding spots, so if your index total has moved, that tab is where the additions appear first.
Why a dog will not appear
Missed dogs almost always trace back to one of four causes rather than a bug in the spawn.
- The required item is not in your inventory. BiewerTerrier needs the Burger Toy, CavalierKingCharlesSpaniel needs the Frisbee, and OldEnglishSheepdog needs the Golden Bone.
- A keypad has not been entered. WirehairedPointingGriffon stays behind the door until 1255 is typed in, and the later route stays shut until 1566 is entered.
- The three paw prints are still on the church island, leaving the following island locked.
- A minigame was started but not finished, so Dachshund or AmericanHairlessTerrier never spawns.
Servers cap at 30 players, and collecting is per-player, so nobody can take a dog you have not picked up yet. If a slot is still blank after a full sweep, retrace the island with the item requirement in mind first, then use the teleport menu to jump directly back to the keypad or minigame rather than walking the whole route again.
