Message from Owner

My dad gave me Maui 31 years ago. She is a beloved family pet. I’m afraid she managed to get under our fence. I’m hopeful that she is burrowed somewhere nearby. We’re very hopeful to bring her back home! Thank you for your help!

This is usually for furry pets but Some of this info might help. Go to shelters in person. Our neighbors witnessed my pet being picked up by them here. Five days, they told us he wasn't there. We found him in their clinic. Check there, too. They might try to say no. Be insistent. If your pet is missing, you should also check re-homing and for sale pages, including Marketplace and local newspapers, rescues, and Craigs-list. Many times, people get the gender of the pet wrong. Please always check in person. If chipped, then contact your chip company. Make sure the information is current and report the pet missing. Please make all your posts Public. If you decide to use Paw boost, check your emails daily, especially if your pet is lost for a long time. And please add a phone number. Pets have been found and not able to return home because all that is found of old posts is Paw boost with no information and emails are being ignored. 😥 Please click the three dots upper right and edit to add the closest cross streets, city, state, and date of disappearance if that information isn't already there. It can be shared with truckers, traveling through there. You should include the original missing date and city and state on top of your post. The breed is also helpful. Searches on Google and FB go by posts, not groups. It makes it simpler for those of us who search. The city and state especially are very important for those of us who do Google and FB searches for pets. Check leads in person. Sometimes, the lighting will make the pet seem darker or lighter than it is. If the owner walks around too far, then their scent can confuse the pet. It's best for the owner to stay close to one area and have others walk a larger area. Favorite squeaky toy might help, but use it sparingly. It might also attract other dogs, so be careful. 💝🌹👍 A simple cardboard box placed where you saw your cat might attract it home if it's closeby. Please do not leave food and a cat box outside if your cat is missing. It can attract other cats and predators that block your pet from coming home. If you do put food out, make certain you are close by and bring it in at night. Cat boxes have been known to attract every stray in the area, including dogs. The owner should look for their pets at local Shelters and Humane Society if you haven't already. Please call them to let them know you have the pet. Also, pet shops, groomers, and vets might recognize them. So might the mail carrier. You should contact them as well. Fliers could help and so could knocking on doors. A vet will scan for chip for free. If you see your pet, don't chase her/him. Sit down quietly, don't look at him/her, just watch them with corner of your eyes. Make sure to bring a box/bag of treats and a can of wet food. Sit down on the ground. Open the wet food when he/she's within hearing distance and lay it down in front of you on the ground. Favorite toy. Bring it. Make sure he sees it, but if it squeaks, don't squeak it often. Once or twice, then lay it down in front of you. Just to grab attention so they see you. If they come running, don't be too quick to grab them. They'll bolt. Smelly food like a rotisserie chicken might work better, and YouTube has videos of the sound of a food can opening. You can use that instead. Don't make any suddenly moves. It might scare him. Good luck!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀🍀 Not everyone has internet, and some ppl are not on Facebook. Join other sites like next-door, Ring, etc... if they are on FB, they may check other lost and found groups. Check Craigs-list. The Ring app is really good, too! 👍 A quick way to check groups is to click on the pictures link on the homepage. It can save time. 😁👍 One of the most important things you can do is file missing reports with police, Humane Society, Shelters, and your chip company. Without a police report, your pet could end up legally adopted out to someone else. Do that immediately. Also, thoroughly research these pet finders please. Not all of them are legitimate businesses. Their motives may not be good. I'm adding this Aug. 2, 2026 because I recently researched one that doesn't exist in a Google business search, except on FB. Their page was created on July 16th, 2026. 17 days ago. A simple solution is to ask for the business license number. You can research those on the Secretary of State site. Business licences are a requirement. Do not answer messages offering a code. Especially don't go to i n s t a or other sites, and research area codes of people who want you to call them. These are generally scams. Good luck!!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀
