Lost and Found Pets

• Search the Area: Begin by checking your neighbourhood thoroughly, calling your dog’s name in a calm tone, and looking in familiar places.
• Bring Familiar Items: Take along treats, your dog’s favourite toy, or their leash, as familiar scents may help them come to you.
• Post on Social Media: Post recent photos on local Facebook groups like Lost and Found Pets Grey Bruce and your personal page. Include your dog’s name, last known location, and any unique identifiers.
• Notify Local Shelters and Vets: Contact the Owen Sound Animal Shelter and nearby veterinary clinics to report your dog as missing. Provide a description and a recent photo.
• Create Flyers: Post flyers with a clear photo, your contact information, and the date/location your dog was last seen. Place these around your neighbourhood and popular areas.

1. Check Nearby Hiding Spots: Cats often stay close to home, hiding under porches, in garages, or thick bushes. Search these areas thoroughly and call out gently.
2. Leave Out Familiar Scents: Place your cat’s bed, blanket, or an article of your clothing outside your home. The scent can help guide them back.
3. Use Social Media: Share a recent photo and description in local Facebook groups like Lost and Found Pets Grey Bruce. Note any identifying features and where they were last seen.
4. Search at Dusk or Dawn: Cats are most active during early morning and evening. Quietly search the area during these times, as they may feel safer venturing out.
5. Ask Neighbours for Help: Speak with neighbours and ask them to check garages, sheds, and other sheltered spots on their properties.

Taking quick action and using a variety of methods can help increase your chances of a safe reunion with your lost pet. For assistance, always remember to reach out to the Owen Sound Animal Shelter and local social media groups.
