Place a lost pet ad on your local Craigslist page. Title it “Lost Cat” or “Lost Dog,” and include a brief description, contact information, and last known location. If your lost pet is a dog: Search your neighborhood carefully (or wherever your pet was lost). Late at night or very early in the morning, go to the place where your dog was ...
- Search Your Home and Alert Neighbors. As soon as you notice your pet is missing, talk to your family members or housemates and ask where they last saw your pet.
- Work the Phones. Calls should be made to the local animal control agencies, veterinary hospitals, shelters (both municipal and private) and rescue groups in your area.
- Tell Your Social Media Networks. Send an email about your lost pet to local friends, colleagues and family members and ask them to pass on the information to anyone they can.
- Create a “Lost Pet” Flyer. You’ll want to create a flyer that will stand out and get noticed by people who may have seen your pet. Repeated viewings of a consistent message are more likely to stick in people’s minds, so we recommend sticking with one design for your flyer.
- Call the authorities. Never put yourself in harm’s way by attempting to capture an animal that is behaving aggressively. If you cannot safely approach the animal or if it runs away, call your local animal control or police department immediately.
- Check for ID. Once you have contained the lost pet, check to see if the animal is wearing an ID tag. If so, you may be able to immediately contact the owner and return the pet to her or him.
- Get the pet scanned for a microchip. If the pet is not wearing an ID tag, the best course of action is to either take it to your local animal shelter or call the animal control/police department to pick it up and transport it to the shelter.
- Take pets with no ID to an animal shelter. If the animal has no ID tag or microchip, its best chance of being reunited with its owner is generally at an animal shelter.
