Found a Pet? Here's What to Do Next

Steps to Take Immediately

1. Ensure the Pet's Safety

  • Keep the pet safe and secure in a confined space.

  • Provide food, water, and comfort to the pet.

2. Check for Identification

  • Look for a collar with an ID tag that includes contact information.

  • If the pet has no visible ID, take them to a local veterinarian or animal shelter to check for a microchip.

Notify the Community

1. Create and Distribute Flyers

  • Make a flyer with a clear photo of the found pet, noting any distinguishing features.

  • Include where and when the pet was found and your contact information.

  • Post flyers around the area where the pet was found, at local businesses, and on community bulletin boards.

2. Use Social Media and Online Resources

  • Post about the found pet on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

  • Join and post in local lost and found pet groups.

  • Use websites like PetFinder, PawBoost, and Nextdoor to report the found pet.

3. Notify Local Shelters and Veterinarians

  • Contact local animal shelters, rescues, and veterinary clinics to report the found pet.

  • Provide them with the flyer and your contact information.

Temporary Care Tips

1. Keep the Pet Comfortable

  • Create a safe, quiet space for the pet away from other animals and loud noises.

  • Offer fresh water, food, and a comfortable place to rest.

2. Monitor the Pet's Health

  • Observe the pet for any signs of illness or injury. If needed, seek veterinary care.

3. Limit Interaction with Other Pets

  • To prevent stress or potential conflicts, keep the found pet separate from your own pets until their owner is located.

Finding a lost pet can be a stressful experience, but your actions are crucial in reuniting them with their owner. Our team is here to support you and provide any assistance you may need in this process.
