How to find a lost pet:

1. Search your property thoroughly - small animal scan find small hiding spots
2. Walk the neighborhood, talk to everybody, and leave your phone number
3. Make some noise while you walk around the neighborhood - animals have great hearing and know the voices of their owners
4. Bring a powerful flashlight - this is valuable even in the daylight as a lost and scared animal will often find a small and dark hiding spot
5. Place strong-scented articles outside your home to attract your pet - animals know your scent, so don't be afraid to use things like sweaty gym socks, dog bedding, etc...
6. Call local veterinarian offices during the day. After 5 PM, call veterinarian emergency clinics
7. VISIT your local Animal Control, humane societies, and animal shelters
8. Ask Animal Control, humane societies, and shelters about pet rescue organizations in your area
9. Post as many flyers as you can within a 1 mile radius of your home
10. Place an Ad in your local newspaper
11. Check the newspaper "found" ads every day
12. DONT GIVE UP - Pets have been known to be found months or even years after they are lost
