Male or female? If it is male, is he neutered? Does the dog have a tattoo in its ear? If you can tell that it is not neutered and doesn't have a tattoo, chances are that it is a stray. The only other measure that is used is microchip, but if the dog has one of those it will certainly have a tattoo as well.
If there is a 24 hour vet in the area, they will usually accept animals and hold them until the local shelter can come pick them up.
A vet will be able to trace the tattoo and/or scan to see if the dog has a chip and is registered or not. Trying to find the owner on your own is pretty difficult and is probably a waste of your time.
The other option is to adopt the dog yourself.
