Lost Pet Tips:
- Approach Carefully – Always use
caution when approaching an unfamiliar pet.
They may be frightened or injured.
If the pet is afraid, they may behave unpredictably. - Check Tags – After you approach the
pet, you should first check for tags.
This will help you identify the owner.
Your local animal control office can provide you with information on how
to use a dog license number to locate the number. - Check for a Microchip – If the pet
doesn’t have visible tags, take the pet to our office or to a local
shelter! The pet may be fitted with a
microchip that is matched to the owner’s contact information. - Work with a Shelter or Animal Control
Department – These organizations can help you find the lost pet’s
owner, as they are the first place many pet owners come to look for a missing
pet.
