For the animals sake, please take the time to look for it yourself. All shelters take lost reports on missing animals in person. Those persons finding lost pets are required by state law to call their local animal shelter and report that they have found an animal and leave a description of the animal and their telephone number or address. After visiting your animal shelter and filing a lost report, call and check every three days. Put up flyers and posters, include a photograph if possible.
Copy machines are capable of reproducing photographs for little expense.
Call veterinarians to see if someone has brought in an injured animal. Check the found section of ALL your local newspapers. Put an advertisement in your local newspaper in the lost section. Go door to door in your neighborhood and ask your neighbors if they have seen your pet. Most of them will be very concerned and will keep an eye out for you.
