Lost Pet Tips

1. Notify the facilities below that you have a lost pet. The primary animal care facilities in our area are:

County of Sacramento
916-875-5232
(directions)
4290 Bradshaw Rd. (at Kiefer)

City of Sacramento
916-264-7387

2172 Front Street (at Broadway)

Sacramento SPCA
916-383-7387

6201 Florin-Perkins Road (near Fruitridge)

Visit all local animal facilities at least once every three days. Do not rely only on phone inquiries. Talk to newspaper and postal carriers and diligently search for at least one month.

2. Distribute fliers within a one mile radius of where the pet was lost. Good locations are veterinary hospitals, grocery stores, schools, laundromats and churches. Flier should include date and place where pet was lost, type and breed of pet and your telephone number. Do not put your name on the flier. Click here for a sample flier.

3. Place an ad in the lost and found section of the local papers including the Sacramento Bee (321-1234), Penny Saver, and neighborhood publications. Include any information included in your flier.

4. Use caution and take a friend when responding to a 'found' pet tip. Once you are reunited, remove all fliers.


…And don't forget, pets wearing license identification tags are returned home much quicker!
