As a veterinarian I knew we were not the only ones going through this ordeal . Hundreds of LOST PET flyers have been posted at my hospital. I was frustrated. Frankly, I didn't believe anything could be done. Shelters do their very best to locate owner, but if your pet has no form of identification, there's not much they can do.
Shelters are already overcrowded so lost pets can only be kept a short period of time.
Meanwhile, owners are frantically spending time and money trying to find them. No one wants this to happen. More pets die because their owners didn't identify them than from all infectious diseases combined. Avoid the pain, worry and expense of losing your pet. It's vital to identify your pet, before it's too late.
