4) Go to (or call) all local shelters & vets -leave photos, a description & your contact info.âl
5) Hang (far & wide), put in mailboxes & hand out bright, large fliers with the word FOUND, your petâs picture, a brief description & a phone number that people can call, text &/or leave a message. If possible, use a sheet protector or laminate in case of rain. Staple and/or duct tape to poles, trees, stores that allow it. (It's recommended that you leave a detail about the pet out of the description, so you can use it to ensure anyone claiming to be the owner is legitimate.)
