As soon as your pet was nearby you looked back and there was no trace of him. You are in a panic: anxious thoughts creep into your head, you ask fervently, check every corner, call by name – to no avail! Finding a four-legged friend is a painful process for the owner. After all, there are many dangers around: cars, other animals and, finally, bad people. We will tell you what steps will help you find the “lost” item.
Look at places you walk often or recently.
If your pet gets lost, the best solution is to take action. Every second counts. Therefore, there is no need to panic, because in a state of stress, thinking becomes dull. Think about it, your pet probably has favorite places where you often walk. If you are in an unfamiliar place, walk where you have been recently. Search every corner. Especially under cars, in basements, under stairs, in bushes or
Involve others in the search
Do not hesitate to approach passersby; Your pet’s life is in danger. It’s the most important thing now. Therefore, there is nothing to be ashamed of. But it’s important to describe briefly and as accurately as possible what your cat or dog looks like (or just show a photo on your phone). Ask other pet owners. Maybe they spotted the missing one and can tell me which direction it’s moving.
Leave “hints” to your four-legged friend
Leave some gifts or personal items where you got lost so that the tailed animal can find you by smell. Of course, you shouldn’t pin too much hope on them, but some trained pets have developed intelligence so they can respond to “bait”. Also look for your pet in places where there is warmth and food. Ask doormen, postmen, local police officers, street vendors, and walking children if they are nearby.
Write the missing person report correctly
This point is the most important. The effectiveness of searches depends on this. The announcement must be made electronically and in print. Ask your subscribers to reshare whenever possible. Post flyers in areas where your pet has gone missing. The ad must: include a clear and current photo of the pet, accurately describe its characteristics (breed, age, color), indicate the date and time the pet disappeared, choose a large font that will attract the attention of passers-by, and promise a monetary reward. The last point is important because it will speed up the search.
Ask for help from volunteers
Ask for help from groups on social networks looking for lost pets or directly from volunteers on the site. You can also contact veterinary clinics, pet stores and animal control services to report the missing. The more people see it, the higher the chances of finding a furry friend.
