LOOKING FOR A LOST PET?
Here are some things to do if your pet is missing:
- Call your local and surrounding county animal control and shelter.
- Post to social media – include pictures. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are all easy ways to get the message out. Make sure you include a recent photo, the day the animal went missing, gender, and location it was last seen.
- Post to lost and found sites. There are a lot of places you can post such as Craigslist.com, Helping Lost Pets , Tri-State Lost and Found are a few that come to mind.
- Call local law enforcement so they will be on the lookout.
- Post flyers in the neighborhood. Make sure your phone and email are on it.
- Put a big sign in your yard.
- Knock on doors in the neighborhood.
A little ounce of prevention will also go a long way. Make sure your pet is Microchipped and if it’s a dog, make sure it has a valid license. Chips and licenses can save their lives.
