So You Lost Your Pet...or You Found One

If I lost one of my assorted pets I would be frantic. If you lose your pet it is important to know what to do. First, call your local animal shelter to see if anyone has brought it in or reported finding it. If your pet has a microchip be sure you know the details and have registered it. If you find a pet that is lost you can take it to your local shelter, but if you choose to search for the owner it is very important to report that you have found it to your local shelter!
