For people who are very attached to their pets, there’s nothing worse than when one of them turns up missing.
Whether it’s an indoor cat who found a way outside or a dog slipping through an open gate, a missing pet strikes panic in the heart of a pet owner. If you find yourself in this position, there are some steps you can take to maximize your chances of having your pet returned to you.
Always get in touch with your local paper to place a “lost” ad. These are usually free, for at least the first three days. If your budget allows, pay to keep it running, on the weekends, if nothing else, for at least a month. People finding lost pets (including yours truly) first look in the local paper’s “lost” section to see if they can facilitate a quick return.
Next, make sure you have an updated, clear photo of your pet. It’s actually best to have at least two, one good headshot and one whole-body profile. This is also a handy excuse...
