If you discover your pet missing, immediately search the neighbourhood. You should also contact your municipal or county animal service or bylaw department and visit the pound in person at least every two days. You should also contact the veterinarians in your area, and, if possible, leave a poster with your animal’s photo and your telephone number.
Anywhere else, call your town or county hall and ask for the animal services or bylaw department.
You may also want to post a notice on the Internet. One online service that includes Canada is Petfinder.
