Suggestions of things to do when you find or lose a pet.


Create signs and post in your neighborhood.
Post on all lost and found websites/facebook pages. Post on your neighborhood facebook pages. Post on Next Door.

Contact the Alabama Pet Registry for valuable advice! 205-969-2241
  1. Search the surrounding areas each morning and again at dusk
  2. Use On-Line help from sites like www.fcdf.org & www.alapet.org 
    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!)
  3. Ask Postal Workers and children in the neighborhood during your searches.
    Postal Workers are always aware of loose dogs. Children are usually very observant and enjoy being helpful.
  4. Contact veterinarians and animal clinics in your area. 
    After your pet is found, ask your Veterinarian about microchipping!
  5. Contact your humane society.
  6. Be sure to visit Animal Control Facilities immediately, personally, and often!
