Found Pet Checklist
_________If there is no identification tags consider
taking the animal to a veterinarian or shelter that has a microchip-scanning
device to check for a microchip. Look for tattoos.
_________Ask people in the neighborhood if they know who
owns the animal.
_________Post “Found Pet” posters in the area. Always leave off some identifying
information about the pet.
_________Contact shelters, humane societies, veterinarians and breed
rescues. Report the animal to these organizations. They need the information on
file in case the owners call there looking for their pet.
_________Place a “found pet” ad in your local paper.
When placing the ad omit a pertinent piece of information about the pet. This
will help you to be sure you find the owner. You may want to ask responders of
the ad the name and phone number of their veterinarian. Call the vet and verify
the information before turning the pet over to the caller. Found ads are FREE in the Winston-Salem
Journal
_________Check the “Lost Pet” ads daily.
_________Look for posters in the area that may be
posted for the pet.
