Post signs - SIGNS will really help get out the word fast.
Laminate the signs at a copy center if possible. If not, USE
PERMANENT MARKER, or copy on a machine. Someone may have your
pet and if they see your sign or pet in the AJC as lost, they
will contact you.
-
Look at the AJC Classifieds on line for Found Pets. The more
people who know your pet is lost, the better chance you have of
getting your pet back.
-
Put
your lost pets lost write-up with photo in
www.ajcclassifieds.com under Pets: Lost Pets.

least every 3-5 days. Ask to check isolation areas at the
shelters.
