If your pet becomes lost, here are some things you can do
- Search your home and property thoroughly Check all areas accessible to pets. Statistically, an indoor pet will hide within a 2-block radius of their home and may hide in small dark spaces. Check woodpiles, garages, storage sheds or other out buildings on your property
- Canvass the neighborhood on foot. Search all hours (injured animals often hide during the day). Check sewers, ditches, and vacant lots to make sure your pet has not become trapped. Tell your neighbors about the missing animal and ask them to call if they spot it
Post a message on our message board.- File a lost report. Call your local humane society, rescue organizations and animal control to make a report. You should also visit those shelters (your description may be different than ours). Your pet may arrive at a shelter soon after becoming lost so do not wait to check.
- Advertise. Most local newspapers do not charge for this service. Also post fliers in your neighborhood
- Don't give up! People often keep found animals for several days before taking them to a shelter.
If you find an animal, you can do many of these same things to try and find the owner!
Once your pet has been found, please notify local shelters so they can concentrate on animals that are still lost. Also take down any signs and tell your neighbors that your pet has returned home.
