What to do if
you have FOUND a pet
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 | Check the lost and found
classified ads in all of your local newspapers for a lost ad about the pet.
|
| Call Petfinders at
800-666-5678, and we will do a computer search to determine if the pet has been reported
lost to us within 60 miles of where you found it. Check our online
listing as well.
|
| If the pet is wearing a tag, call
the appropriate agencies. For example, if the pet is wearing a tag with a shelter phone
number, call that shelter.
|
| Next, call the local animal shelter. You
can get the number from the yellow pages under animal shelters, the municipal section of
the white pages, or by calling your town or city hall. Give the shelter a full description
of the pet.
|
| Then, prepare a flyer giving only a physical
description of the pet and distribute copies widely on bulletin boards in
your neighborhood.
|
| As you travel, look for community
bulletin boards in shopping centers, libraries, churches, synagogues, or anywhere else
that you can post a notice of general interest. Also put flyers on the streets at busy
intersections (you may want to check the legality of posting on public property
first). As you distribute the posters, remember to look for the flyer that the owner
may have posted.
