Resources for finding missing/lost pets

File a Report

See section for animal control services.  Bring photos with you for filing a report.  Once placed in a shelter, pets who are not quickly found or adopted have a limited lifespan.  It is critical then to visit frequently and one to three days to view cats in person.

Fliers/ Mircro-chips

Bring fliers with you during your search.  Start in the area your pet became lost or missing.  If your pet is micro-chipped, verify that registration has been correctly entered/ updated.  Do not soley rely upon animal control services for detecting microchips.
