They will allow you to place a free 3-day ad if you find a pet. It will be seen by the most people if you time the ad to run on the weekend. Leave out some determining characteristic about the animal and be sure to have a caller describe the animal. Don't describe the animal for the caller. There are dishonest people who may try to claim the animal is theirs when it isn't.
Call ahead to a vet clinic to see if they will scan the animal for a microchip.
Call area vet clinics and ask if they have reports of missing pets.
Post flyers around the area you found the pet.
Place flyers on bulletin boards at the pet stores, Meijer, etc.
If you have found orphaned kittens or puppies, visit our orphan help page.
