Search your neighborhood

Lost pets are often disoriented and stressed, and will look for somewhere to hide. Search your neighborhood, call the pets name, and crinkle/shake a familiar treat container. Ask your neighbors if they have seen your pet, and ask for their permission to search their property. Look under cars, porches and bushes. Some animals tend to hide during the day or high traffic times, so search later in the day. Don't give up! Keep looking!

Post flyers and file reports

Post flyers with a good photo and a bold, clear headline along with your contact information, a description of the pet (with breed, size, sex, age, and distuingishing features), and where the pet was lost. PetFBI has a free online printable flyer maker.  Post the flyers everywhere with high visibility near where the pet was lost and give them to all of your neighbors. Contact all of the shelters in your area and file reports with each one. 

Post online and get social
