What should you do if your pet is lost??
1. Look around the neighborhood. Ask people if they have seen your pet. Let them know it is missing.
2. MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS WEARING PROPER ID TAGS!!!
A current rabies tag will identify the clinic that gave the vaccine who in turn can pull records and identify the owner. Also, an ID tag with the owner's phone number (at the VERY least), address, or name, and possibly the pet's name as well. If space permits, have "REWARD IF FOUND" on the tag.
3. Drive around your neighborhood (or wherever the pet was lost) at night. Sometimes lost animals will hide during the day. Be sure to drive slowly —– your pet may recognize
the sound of your car.
4. Check all animal shelters in your area in person at least every two days. Keep trying. Your pet may wander (or be kept by someone) for awhile before being turned in. Also, many police departments dispatches will keep a lost pet list, so be sure to contact them with your pets information.
Leave a color photo of your pet
at the Animal Shelter.
Have a description of your animal on the back of the picture with a day phone number.
Post notices in shopping centers, on telephone poles, in vet offices, in pet stores
and grooming parlors.
Using a color photo of your pet
will attract attention.
5. Check the numerous Facebook pages dedicated to lost animals in our area such as -

6. Put an ad in the paper. Watch “found ads” and respond to any that might possibly be your dog.
7. A week of wandering can turn a white poodle into a “gray mixed breed”
