Please call and visit the facilities that are near to your home. See our list of local animal control agencies
Post flyers in your neighborhood within a 3-mile radius of where your pet was lost, at the shelters and veterinarian clinics. Include a picture of your pet and any distinctive markings. If you don't have a good picture of your pet, consider using a line drawing from a breed book. Area pet shops, pet groomers, schools, drug stores and grocery store bulletin boards are also good locations to place your flyers. Offer a reward if possible.
Take out a classified ad in the local newspaper. Check the newspaper found ads everyday
Walk the neighborhood, talk to everybody you run across, and leave your phone number.
Call the city, county, and state road crews, DOT, and Animal Control daily to see if they have found your dog
Go to the animal shelters frequently. Keep checking back with places you have checked before.
