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!
