Your location should be first in your post!! The goal isn't to reach everyone in Arizona it's to reach the people in your immediate vicinity. Then bullet point format with details on the pet so people can quickly scan. Use lots of keywords at the bottom of your post Put your phone number so people can quickly contact you if they see your pet Crop your photos: you want your dog as big as possible. You have two seconds to grab people's attention you want to make it count. Cut the Walls furniture other dogs people the yard etc out of the photo. Just your pet.

A great example that I saw : If I lost my cell phone and I posted on Facebook- Please help! I've lost my phone! Let me know if you see it. That wouldn't be very effective what it? What would be the first three questions you would ask me? Those are the same three questions that lost pet owners need to make sure they have in their post. 🤗

Cats are usually less than 10 houses from home. If it's an indoor cat they will usually go over the fence and hide somewhere and often do not come out even when you call them. It's very important if you live in a coyote zone that you get over to your neighbors immediately. Knock on the door ask them to check their backyard while you stand there and wait! Rewards inspire people to pay more attention I would put $20 reward phone number and a big picture of your cat on a flyer absolutely nothing else not lost cat nothing. And tape it on all the garage doors on your street and the one behind you. Do not leave the litter box outside if you live in a coyote zone it draws coyotes.

Did you know in low income neighborhoods across the valley, the rate of microchipped pets is extremely low probably between 3 and 7%? Maybe even less? Did you know that the neighborhood apps have the top rate of recovery for lost pets? 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. Cities like Gilbert and Surprise Arizona have extremely high rates of return for lost pets. One of the things I noticed about both of those cities is they are extremely interactive on these apps. They are quick to post and neighbors are quick to jump in to help and reply. 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. The national average is only 6% of pets are found at the shelter. And Maricopa County shelter runs around 10-11%. Sad right? Clothing scent trails only work on maybe 2% of lost pets. They work on dogs that: ▪️ Are being trained for tracking ▪️ Calm relaxed dogs ▪️ That are within about three houses of home ▪️ That are actively looking for the house They do not work on: ▪️ Dogs in fight or flight ▪️ Dogs that are further than about three houses from home ▪️ This suggestion does not work in excessive heat temps In residential areas that are predominantly elderly residents Flyers are the way to go. Also in heavy Spanish speaking communities Flyers are the way to go because they tend to not be on the neighborhood apps if they don't speak english. 13 year Lost Pet Advocate and Lost Pet Strategist
