What to do Right Away
File a lost pet report with every shelter or rescue within a 50-mile radius of your home and visit the shelter if possible.
Walk or drive your neighborhood several times a day. Ask your neighbors and everyone you see if they’ve seen your pet. Hand out photos of your pet and information about how they can contact you.
Post flyers at local stores, community centers, veterinary offices, traffic intersections and in your neighborhood. Consider ads in newspapers with information about your pet’s gender, age, weight, breed, color and special markings.
It’s unfortunate that many people will take advantage of a traumatic situation for financial gain. To keep yourself from becoming a victim, make sure that you can verify that someone has your dog before proceeding. Ask someone to send a photo of your pet and be wary of those who ask for money upfront.
Use social media and other forms of the internet to widen your search for your lost pet, and consider local groups such as Lost Pet Santa Fe and CraigsList.
A pet has a better chance of being returned home if they always wear a collar and an ID tag with your name, address and telephone number. Pets who have been lost for months and even years have found been reunited.
