LOST & FOUND
What You Can Do
Animals Are Lost Every Day
Unfortunately, pets do get lost everyday. There may be an unnoticed hole in fence, the gate was left open or perhaps someone decided to steal your pet. Here are some steps you can take to help find them.
Search Entire House and Property
- Check in all places that your pet may have gotten trapped
- Sometimes pets will get into things like cupboards, washing/drying machines, closets, crawl spaces, etc
- Check in any outside buildings, under porches, in containers, vehicles or other places a scared pet may hide
Create Flyers or Share on Social Media
Don’t forget important information such as, photo, description, when and where last seen, do they have a collar/leash and contact numbers.
