LOST AND MISSING ANIMAL RESOURCES

*Please note that inclusion on this resource list is not an endorsement of the listing.

Discovering that your animal family member is missing or lost is incredibly heartbreaking and frightening. It is difficult to think clearly about what steps to take when you are so emotionally upset. I sincerely hope you never have to use this information. If this does happen to you, I hope this list of lost and missing animal resources is helpful.

PET IDENTIFICATION – PREVENTIVE ACTION

The standard Pet Identification on your pet’s collar provides a way to immediately contact you when your pet is found.

In addition to the standard ID tag:

Home Again

This service links your pet’s microchip with your contact information.
(Note that not all microchips can be read by all scanners.).

The Cross Emergency tag

Can provide protection in addition to the microchip.
