Distribute flyers with your pet's picture and contact info. Do a letterbox drop and post in public places like shops, pet stores, and notice boards. Cats can get trapped in sheds, so ask owners to check.
Place an ad in the lost and found column of local newspapers. Since many papers allow people to put “found” ads for free, check newspapers daily in case someone is trying to find you!
If your pet was injured he or she may have been taken to a nearby veterinarian or animal hospital before being taken to an animal shelter.
Some animals who have been lost for months have been reunited with their owners. Continue to search for your pet; you just never know!!
Our microchipping services can make sure that your pet always gets found and returned to the right place.
You can always check for your pet's records at Central Animal records, 03 9706 3187 www.car.com.au
Most clinics will keep a log of lost and found pets.
The best place for a lost pet to be is the local animal shelter, because this will be the first port of call that a very distressed owner will look for their missing friend. In most cases this will be the only place that people might think to look for the missing pet.
Advertise in the lost and found section of your local paper (this is a free service in most papers)
