• Search the surrounding areas each morning and again at dusk (very important as your pet may be too scared to venture out during the bustle of the day)
• Place an ad in the lost and found section of the newspaper and fliers throughout the neighborhood and surrounding areas.
• Put the following information on all flyers, notices, and ads: breed, color, sex, age, date lost, your name, and two phone numbers. (Add a picture if at all possible!)
• Ask Postal Workers and children in the neighborhood during your searches.
