If you have lost your pet:
Read below for steps to take if your pet is lost, and be sure to fill out a Lost Pet report.
Step One
If you have lost a pet, put out food, water, and its bed or an article of your clothing. There is a good chance that the pet will return.
Step Two
Fill out a Lost Pet Form. This is submitted directly to the shelter. All pets who come into the shelter are listed here. Additionally, pets not located at the shelter but reported as found by citizens are listed here. Keep an eye on the website.
Step Three
Spread the word! Print lost flyers. Post them around where your pet was last seen and go door to door. Flyers can also be taken to vet clinics and the police department. Post that your pet is missing on Petco Love Lost, PetFBI, Pawboost, Concerned Citizens of Cabot Lost and Found Pets Facebook page, and Arkansas Lost and Found Pets Network website.
Before your pet goes missing:
Step One
Have your pet microchipped!
If they are already microchipped, make sure that the information is up to date.

If your pet is found, the finder can look up the microchip number and it will automatically send a text message, email, and phone call to the owner. WOW!
