1. Search for lost pets at Animal Services.
2. Fill out a lost report as completely as possible at ALL shelters near you.
Most shelters ask that you file a lost report in person to insure that you have the opportunity to look for your pet and also look through the shelter "Found Book".
3. Check the "Found" section of the newspaper.
4. Search the neighborhood where your pet was lost.
Show a picture of your pet and ask others to keep an eye out for your pet.
5. Check Social Media and Craigslist
Reminder:
Don't give up. Pets are sometimes reunited with their owners several weeks after they are lost.
Remember - Shelters receive animals other than dogs and cats, if you have lost ANY animal please check your local shelter and file a lost report.
