• Call and visit all area shelters. Leave your name and number with a description of pet on display board or in lost/found book.

What if I find a pet...?

      (Only if you can safely handle animal)

• Call the area shelters with a description of the animal and tag information.
• Take the animal to the nearest veterinarian or animal control to have it scanned for a microchip. If that is not possible, call the Animal Control to come to your residence and scan for a chip.
• If the finder elects to keep the animal at their residence, call the area shelters and leave a description. Owners should check display board and lost/found books at shelters.
• Place and frequently check lost/found ads in newspapers.

BE SAFE !
