Did you have a PetID on your puppy?
One of the first basic Priorities of any animal owner is having a PetID on their loved one be it an INDOOR or OUTDOOR pet..

here's some Lost pet Tip's i've collected over time...

The immediate keys to searching for your pet are: walk, talk, visit and make fliers. As soon as you're aware your pet is missing, walk the area he/she was last seen. Don't go alone. Knock on doors,talk with people in the area, homes and businesses. Visit all local shelters DAILY.

Be aggressive in your search.
Time is your enemy.
Never give up.

Check inside your home in every conceivable corner and space, and outside your home in outbuildings, crawlspaces, anywhere your pet may be hiding. Your pet could be hurt, sick, confused, scared or trapped.

Walk your grounds calling pet's name often and loudly. LISTEN CLOSELY.

Walk your neighborhood, or area last seen, several times daily including early morning and early evening. (Take someone with you.)

Leave items with a familiar scent outside your home. A litter box, pet bed, or a sweatshirt recently worn by a loved one can attract a pet who has strayed, become disoriented, or bolted during a thunderstorm.

VISIT area shelters and humane societies DAILY. Take them your flier. Go in person; don't rely on a phone call to get correct, timely info. Remember, some shelters and Humane Societies keep animals only a few days...Visit DAILY.
