I have so far been unable to find any websites dedicated to information on behavior of lost dogs. However, since many rescue dogs and otherwise shy dogs are lost, here are some good websites related to behavior of feral, stray and shy dogs.
Feral Dog Blog
Fearful Dogs.com: resources to help fearful, shy and anxious dogs. Also see the related blog: Fearful Dog Blog.
