Found a Lost Cat or Dog? Here’s What to Do:
- Check for Identification: Look for tags or a collar with the owner’s contact details.
- Scan for a Microchip: If no visible ID is found, take the dog to a local vet or shelter to scan for a microchip.
- Spread the Word Online: Share details on lost and found pet websites, social media, and community forums. Include a clear photo, a brief description, the location found, and your contact information.
