🔍 Where to Look for a Missing Pet

1. Start Close to Home
Most pets don’t go far. Search your neighborhood thoroughly—check under porches, in sheds, garages, and nearby wooded areas.

2. Alert Local Shelters & Vets
Contact nearby animal shelters, humane societies, and veterinary clinics. Many keep logs of found pets or take in strays.

3. Use Online Databases

• Petco Love Lost: Uses facial recognition to match lost and found pets nationwide.
• Pet FBI: A free national database where you can post and search lost/found pet reports.
• Animal Humane Society’s Lost Pet Resources: Offers step-by-step guidance and local shelter connections.

4. Post on Social Media & Community Boards
Share clear photos and last known location on platforms like Facebook (especially local lost pet groups), Nextdoor, and Craigslist.

5. Put Up Flyers
Old-school still works! Include a recent photo, description, and your contact info. Post at intersections, parks, and pet-friendly businesses.

6. Microchip Registry
Make sure your pet’s microchip info is up to date. If someone finds your pet and has them scanned, this is how they’ll reach you.
