Lost Pet Resources

Please go to Missing Pet Partnership for additional information on low to locate a lost pet. This site was created by Kat Albrecht, the pioneer of the Pet Detective field. LocateMyPet.net has trained with Kat in Dallas, Texas and Fresno, California and continues to receive training from her personally. Be sure to read about various pet personality types and most common lost pet behavior. You will find instructions for how to make giant fluorescent posters and signs that are far more effective than the typical 8 1/2 by 11 flyers posted by most people.

Lost Pet Ad

Place a LOST ad in your local paper as well as smaller newspapers immediately. Run the ad every week until your pet comes home!! The few days you miss placing an ad could well be the days someone who found him/her is checking the paper. Check FOUND ads daily. Most papers run FOUND ads for free and LOST ads for half price.

Here are some flyers that you can use to assist your search.

Check Local Animal Shelters

Check your nearest animal shelter and any others within a 50-mile radius at least every three days, daily if possible. Here are a few links to help you find your lost animal in the Treasure Valley area. The Idaho Humane Society and Canyon County Animal Shelter are common places for people to take found pets. Veterinarians also routinely scan pets for microchips. Consider that your animal may be in the home of a loving, caring foster parent/volunteer from a local rescue group.

DO NOT rely on shelter or rescue employees or volunteers to tell whether or not your pet came in today. What you call brown, another person calls red or tan or yellow. What you call medium-haired and fluffy someone else calls long-haired and frizzy...

LocateMyPet.net also works with other local Missing Animal Response services. See Pet Trackers, LLC for more information.
