If you have not done so already:
• File reports online with several area animal shelters in a wider area (ask how often the report needs to be renewed). If you do not check often and the pet has been at the shelter for more than 10 days, they could find anew home for the pet (varies by location).
•Check strays and found pets section on animal shelter websites and Facebook pages daily.
• Upload photos to Lost.PetcoLove.org for facial recognition software to help match it to photos of found pets
• Make a post on NextDoor & Neighbors by Ring (free neighborhood apps), and
• If the pet is a microchipped, check that your contact info is up to date and file a lost pet report with the microchip company.
• Post flyers around the area since some people are not on social media (large posters work even better), notify delivery drivers/postal workers who are in the area frequently and ask neighbors to check their Ring cameras and security cameras footage.
⚠️Beware that some scammers may try to contact you pretending to be pet finders or pretending to have found your pet and may ask you to contact them on other social media. There are some legitimate pet finders, though. Feel free to ask if you’re not sure if they are legitimate. Prayers for a fast reunion!
