For many people, a pet is a member of the family. So a
missing pet can feel like a missing person.
- Report your missing animal
- Let your friends and neighbors know
- Post flyers
Report you missing animal to the authorities. Depending upon
your local government you may need to call the local police, the sheriff or the
animal shelter.
When you call, have your pet information sheet ready to
answer questions about your pet. If they ask you to email the information,
place the information in the body of the email as well as attaching the document.
The best pet information sheet includes the following: Your
name and contact information at the top. Your pet’s information: breed, height, weight, special marks, fur
length, type of coat, length of tail, birth date, and possible aggressiveness
toward people or other animals.
Pet Photographs
Three pet photographs that every pet owner should have:
- a portrait of your pet
- a full body pose of your pet
- a photo of you with your pet
Let your friends and neighbors know that your pet is
missing.
Pets can end up in a neighbor’s yard or running somewhere in
the neighborhood. Letting the people living closest to you know about your pet
is the best way to look in a hundred places right away. Calling a few helpful
friends who will call other neighbors for you is particularly helpful.
Post flyers
Missing pet flyers should include a picture of your pet,
description and your contact information. If there have been sightings, include
the last place your pet was seen. Print 25 flyers. Post on phone poles or place
the flyer on your neighbor’s doors. Post your pet’s photo on social media so
other people in town can keep an eye out for your pet.
Just in case: keep your pet information sheet and recent
photographs available for the emergency we hope never happens.
