Be PROACTIVE!
Before your pet goes missing:
• Take a current, clear photo of you pet (without children in it) and keep it handy.
• Ensure proper ID tags are on your pet at all times and make sure your contact info (phone number) on tags is up-to-date.
• Get your pet MICROCHIPPED!
Call 715-486-5140 to schedule an appointment with MAPS.
Cost is $15 and includes registration.
• Spay/neuter your pet! Studies have shown that sterilized animals are less likely to roam.
Don't think this will happen to you?
One in three pets will get lost. Without proper ID, only 10% return home!
You've LOST your DOG, now what?
• Place food, water, dog’s bedding or clothing with your scent by location dog left from (t-shirts, pajamas, pillow cases, etc).
• Use this link to Create a Printable Flyer
• Grab your flyers, a leash and start searching your neighborhood. Hang the flyers on utility poles by traffic stops.
• Talk to everyone you see especially children playing outside. Kids tend to notice animals!
• Notify your veterinary clinic and microchip company (if dog is microchipped) to let them know your pet is missing. Confirm they have your current contact information.
• Follow the Report a Lost Pet info on the right of this page.
You've LOST your CAT, now what?
• Search every nook and cranny of your house and grounds. Cats are notorious for exploring new places!
• Use this link to Create a Printable Flyer
• Grab your flyers, a carrier and start searching your neighborhood. Hang the flyers on utility poles by traffic stops.
• Talk to everyone you see especially children playing outside. Kids tend to notice animals!
• Notify your veterinary clinic and microchip company (if cat is microchipped) to let them know your pet is missing. Confirm they have your current contact information.
• Follow the Report a Lost Pet info on the right of this page.
You FOUND a PET, what do you do?
• Be careful! The animal could be very scared and attempt to bite if it feels threatened. Move slowly and do not chase.
• Check for license, microchip or ID tags. Even if the animal does not have a microchip tag, it still may have a microchip! Consider taking the animal to a local veterinary office or shelter to be scanned for a microchip.
• Ask people around the area you found the animal in case the owners live nearby.
• Follow the Found a Lost Pet info on the right of this page.
• REMEMBER: If you find an animal, it's not “finder’s keepers”. Assume every animal has a concerned owner looking for them.
