🐾 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.

Still can't find your pet?
1. Have you posted
👉👉three times a day on next door AND Neighbors by ring? (NOT THE RING APP)
👉👉 Have you commented on your post two or three times to get it going?
👉👉 Have you continued to comment for a few days so everyone in your neighborhood to see it? Or did you just post and move on to post somewhere else?
2. Did you put a reward in the first sentence?
👉👉👉With the amount?
3. Did you make flyers with a reward AND your phone number plus
ONE BIG CLEAR picture of your pet
And put it on all the garages on your street? And the street behind your house?
If that didn't work...
4. Did you call all the veterinarians within 10 miles of you to see if A PET MATCHING YOUR PETS DESCRIPTION was brought in injured or deceased hit by a car?
5. Did you call the local police department and ask for dispatch and see if anyone reported a deceased pet matching yours description for dead animal pickup?
6. Did you crop everything out of the picture but your pet and put it on Petco love lost?Read More
