🐾 Here are a few things to try if you've found a lost pet in Arizona. The NEIGHBORS by Ring app is amazing! 🎉 It has an impressive success rate, helping reunite about 70% of lost pets with their owners—often within hours. Ring and NEIGHBORS by Ring are two different apps, and you do NOT need a Ring device to use NEIGHBORS. It only takes about 5 minutes to download the app and create a post, making it one of the fastest and most effective ways to help reunite a lost pet with its family.🎉 To quickly reach many people within a three mile radius: ▪️ Post the found pet on NEIGHBORS by Ring. ▪️ Also post on Nextdoor ▪️ Make simple flyers using a piece of paper and a Sharpie. Packing tape works great for hanging them up. ▪️ Place 4–8 flyers at the major intersections closest to where the pet was found. ▪️ Put a box in your front yard and write FOUND DOG or FOUND CAT in big letters so if the owners are driving the neighborhood, hopefully they will see it.🥰 ▪️ Your flyers don't have to be fancy. Just write: FOUND DOG/CAT BREED SIZE COLOR YOUR PHONE NUMBER THAT'S IT! ▪️ Take the pet to any veterinary clinic and have them scanned for a microchip. It's free. ▪️ Don't assume the pet was abandoned. Their family may be desperately searching for them. ❤️ Every post, flyer, and microchip scan increases the chances of a happy reunion. 🐾 13-Year Rescue Advocate

A high % of Lost Pet cases are solved in their neighborhood!!! THAT'S WHERE THE SEARCH NEEDS TO BE! This is why the neighborhood apps work best. Post at least three times a day on both of them. Dogs: Many lost dogs are found within 1–2 miles of where they went missing, especially if they escaped from home. Depending on the dog's personality and circumstances, some stay within a few blocks while others travel much farther. Cats: Indoor cats that get outside are often found very close to home—frequently within a few houses to about 500 feet (150 m). Outdoor cats and more adventurous cats may roam farther, (usually within a block) but many are discovered hiding nearby. THIS WHY OWNERS SHOULD BE ON BOTH NEXT DOOR AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORS BY RING APP POSTING THREE TIMES A DAY. AND PUTTING UP VERY SIMPLE FLYERS SO PEOPLE CAN READ THEM FROM 20 FT AWAY (a flyer doesn't work if nobody can read it): REWARD AMOUNT PHONE NUMBER ONE BIG CLEAR PICTURE OF THE PET. Don't even put lost dog on there. The reward is your attention grabbing headline. Get at least 40 Flyers up at the major intersections north south east and west of you. All four sides of the intersection. And at the exit points from your subdivision and the one across the street from you. Should take about an hour. Do more if you can but it's hot. The next day put another 40 up expanding your range by a mile.

Since most lost pet cases are solved in the neighborhood where the pet went missing, nearby neighbors matter more than a large Facebook group. This is why using the neighborhood apps Next door has close to a 75% return rate. Neighbors by Ring has close to a 69% return rate. Flyers are important as well. But the apps should be first because you get a post up in 5 minutes and reach 50 people. Flyers take time to put up. People often assume that posting about a missing pet in a large community Facebook group means 1000’s of people are actively searching. Not so. Imagine a city Facebook group with 24,000 members. The city is roughly 5–6 miles east to west and 5–6 miles north to south. The people who like animals are too spread out across the City to actually see your pet in real life. Also, when it is 115° degrees outside in Arizona, the chance that people will walk around outside to search on foot for a lost pet drops very close to zero. It's estimated that only about 5% of the immediate neighbors will actually look outside. And they will NOT walk the neighborhood, more like simply glance under their vehicle porch or bushes while walking from their air conditioned house to their air conditioned car. That's the reality during extreme heat. People just aren't going to walk sidewalks, check bushes, or conduct neighborhood searches when it's 115°F. So it's very important that owners post on the two apps and get Flyers up asap.

Karen Wisnowski LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS Most lost pet instructions point about 80% of owners with a lost pet in the wrong direction in the first 48 hours by telling them: ▪️Update your microchip ▪️Call the shelter ▪️Contact your veterinarian ▪️Put dirty laundry outside. ▪️Get flyers up. (If your pet is lost in a low income neighborhood read this. If not skip ahead.) However something to consider Low income areas have the HIGHEST RATE OF: ▪️Lost pets running the streets. ▪️Finders keepers. (If it's free it's for me). ▪️Owners that do little to search for their pet. ▪️Owners that do not go get their pet from the County shelter. ▪️Owners that do not take their pet to a vet. ▪️ Pets that are intact. Not spayed or neutered. Low income areas also have THE LOWEST RATE OF: ▪️Microchipped pets. Guesstimated around 3%- 7%, if even? ▪️Dogs with a collar and tags on. So we have the HIGHEST rate of lost pets, In neighborhoods where they are LEAST likely to have a microchip or a vet. So that information is NOT helpful. Many of these are the dogs that end up at the County shelter on the euthanasia list. 13 year Lost Pet Advocate and Lost Pet strategist It's because they work like an amber alert. They cover the immediate vicinity and Get the word out to multiple people at once. The people most likely to see the dog in real life. Next door has around a 75% return rate. Neighbors by ring has around a 69% return rate. Flyers have around a 7 to 21% return rate. This is because there are about 10 steps involved for a flyer to be effective. However all 3 of these are the top methods because they: Reach the immediate vicinity. Immediately They reach the people most likely to see the pet. They reach many people at once in the target area.
