Search Techniques
PHYSICAL SEARCH
A properly conducted physical search around home or the place last seen is the #1 effective technique for finding a missing pet.
POSTERS AND FLYERS
Highly visible posters in public places generate leads, while flyers are good to hand out, mail, or post on bulletin boards.
CAR TAGGING
Car tagging is a highly effective way to generate leads and get more eyes on your search.
INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Internet posts can be effective at finding a missing pet, but they can also be a waste of time if done improperly or relied upon as the only search technique.
ANIMAL SHELTERS
Countless missing pets sit waiting for their owners in animal shelters. Knowing where to search, how, and when, will increase your chances of a reunion.
MYTHS AND SCAMS
Don't be fooled by myths and scams. There are no guarantees, easy answers, or quick fixes.
