Tips to Find Your Pet: The First 24 Hours
By following the steps below right away, you’ll have the best possible chance of being reunited with your pet. If you don’t find your pet quickly, don't give up! Pets are often found weeks or even months after they go missing.
The First Hour
-
Immediately alert your neighbors, via Nextdoor, and Facebook groups. Include a description of your pet, last known location, and a photo.
-
If your pet has a microchip, contact the microchip company to report it lost, and update your contact information if needed.
-
Walk the neighborhood, speak with neighbors, postal carriers, UPS/Amazon drivers, landscapers, and tell them about your missing pet.
The First Few Hours
-
Post online to lost pet sites. Try these first:
-
Nextdoor (your local area)
-
Facebook page/groups (search for):
“Lost & Found Pets of [CITY NAME] and [530]”
-

The First 24 Hours
-
Visit Haven Humane Society to look for your pet: Receiving Building B (on the right). Please have a photo of your pet, and give a copy to the front desk staff. Please visit the shelter every THREE days. Pet holds may be as short as three days.
-
Look for your pet frequently on our Lost Pets page. If you see your pet, please visit us immediately. Keep in mind that we will list your pet under a different name.
-
Hang lost pet posters. Hang your poster within a 3-mile radius of where your dog was lost or a 1-mile radius of where your cat was lost.
When creating a poster, use a half-page, brightly-colored poster board and include a clear photo of your pet. Use huge lettering with concise information, such as, “LOST SMALL, WHITE, MALE DOG, Call 530-xxx-xxxx.” Hang the poster with duct tape at major intersections.
