What to do when you find a lost pet

Check if the pet is wearing a collar and has a tag or a license. Take the pet to a shelter (care center) or veterinarian to scan for microchip identification. Make a flyer and keep the flyer simple and to the point. List the major cross streets where the pet was found since people are more likely to know where those are. A description of the pet – Breed, color, size, and any unique characteristics, License number, microchip number, and a description of their collar (if applicable) and a clear picture of the pet. Post the flyer, pictures of the pet, and the location you found it on Craigslist, Pawboost.com, Petharbor.com and social media sites like Facebook and Nextdoor.
