Loving Pets - Healing Lives

Lost and Found Programs

Have you ever lost a pet? Were you reunited? Well, can you imagine the joy in reuniting lost pets with their people? That's what volunteers who work in Lost and Found programs try to do. It's a very difficult job to do, partly because of the differences in the way people describe pets.

One of the other problems is that often people look for their pets too late, or in the wrong shelter. Here is some very important advice about how not to loose your pet, and what to do if it happens.

George's tips on how not to lose your pet, and what to do if it happens.
  • Visit all local Shelters right away, and fill out a Lost Pet Report
  • If your pet has a Microchip, register and keep your contact information up-to-date
  • License your dog with your local animal control agency
  • Register your cat with local shelters
  • Microchip if you haven't already


Even knowing these things, some pets do get lost, and do end up in shelters. Shelters need people to spend time trying to match Lost Reports with the pets that come into the shelter. It is a very important job, and requires a good deal of follow up. Maybe you're someone who would find that a rewarding volunteer job.

This page is in honor of George who has been missing since June 23, 1995.
Update Nov. 5, 2008 - George was found and returned to us because of his Avid Microchip!
