dogmeat

[Fiox]

I sended dogmeat to sanctuary hills, but i cant find him, what i do?

[The Spirit of Jazz]

Look in the back yards of where the houses were (or still are if you haven't scrapped them), he'll be in one of the kennels.

[Aerisana]

Try throwing sticks, he may fetch them for you.
Or is that a way to Attract Deathclaws, I forget.

It takes a while for the companions to get there. Also did you check all the doghouses? lastly the bell under resource misc items might work on it. Not sure though.

[The Greatest Pokedad]

He will probably be in the dog kennel behind the house at the entrance.

If you walk from Red Rocket to Sanctuary, the first house on the right after you enter has a dog kennel in the back. He will be there.

[Artfu1D0dger]

get rid of all the dog houses in the area and just put one by yur main house, make it a lot easier to find him (i believe there are 3 total starting in sanctuary, check the backyards)

There's a bell you can build, ringing it will bring all of the inhabitants over

Dogmeat is bugged in this game and till a patch will fix it.

First you have to dismantle all dog houses in Sanctuary and move the last one near your work bench.

You have to fasttravel back to Sanctuary and then you have to ask him to leave your party.
He will move into his dog house.
Then you have to port back to where you want to recruit your new companion.
When you will port back to Sanctuary he will still be in his dog house.

When you dismiss him while recruiting a new companion or if you dismiss him while not in Sanctuary he will pernamently disappear.
I had to reload multiple times till I have found out the strategy above to solve the missing dogmeat bug...

Doesn't work on Dogmeat.

And to the OP, he's in one of the doghouses scattered in Sanctuary, so look in the back yards of houses there.
Once you find him, put one doghouse where you want him to be, and scrap the rest.

I remember that someone said that u can use console to teleport him, is that true?

console commands will stop achievements to work.
I do not like to use console comments because it have broken the whole game in some other games I have played.

Because of fasttravel my strategy does not even eat much time nor it is causing gamebreaking problems with NPCs in the game.

commands won't stop achievements permanently, only current session is affected
