| Oh No!
Your pet is missing! What can you do?
|
| An Ounce of Prevention
- make sure that all your dogs have a current license
- have clear color pictures of all your pets and have an online
file of pictures readily available for an emergency.
Note .. if you are travelling, put your pictures somewhere online
where you can access them from anywhere .. i.e. facebook, Picassa or
your blog / website
- While microchipping may be fairly controversial, it IS the only
safe and reliable way to identify cats ( who should not for safety's
sake be wearing conventional collars)
- Spay and neuter your pets. It DOES cut down on the
roaming.

When sending a lost and found listing in to this site, please
include the following:
- a good description of the pet
- date and time your pet went missing
- at least one good picture of the pet.
Please note that it is not site policy to post pictures of children
in our publicly available listings which will have personal contact
information.
- a contact email and/ or a phone number.
- if you have started a facebook group
... let me know and I will also put that on my blog
- If you do not receive a confirmation
email please contact the webmaster link at the bottom of the page,
because that will mean that your listing has not been received.
- send all of this to
lostandfoundpets@nshomelesspets.com
SPECIAL NOTE: Sometimes when
people find their pets, they get so excited they forget to let us know
:) So there is a NEW policy, and that is that all lost and found
listings will only be kept on the site for six months. We
will gladly relist as many times as necessary, but it will be your
responsibility to email us with a new request.

| Oh No! You have found a pet! What should you
do?
- Call the radio station
- Call the animal clinics in the area to see if anyone has lost a
pet
- Post a found pet listing on Kijiji
- Post a found pet listing in the
Petfinder Classifieds
- People often do not want to call their local animal control out
of concern for what might happen to the pet afterwards. Animal
Control varies so widely in Nova Scotia that this has to be a
personal call.. but do remember that AC may be the first place the
pets owner's check. Its also important to remember that after
a couple of days, in most places there is a 'feed me I'm yours'
policy that may prohibit an AC from being able to accept the pet.
If you don't call AC. please pull out all the stops to contact all
the other venues listed here.
