Tips for Finding a Lost Pet
-
FILE A REPORT:
Call your city's Police non-emergency number to report it
lost or stolen.
-
FILL OUT
our Lost/Found Pet form and we will notify our Operation Pet
Watch members to assist and put a description and photo on
this page.
-
CONTACT
ANIMAL AGENCIES: Visit or call the
Shelter nearest you every 24
hours to search.
-
SEARCH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD: Walk or drive through your neighborhood
several times every day--show a picture, if you have one.
Early morning and sunset are prime times for finding lost
pets. Question everyone you see and ask them to keep an eye
out for your pet. Take return address tabs (the kind you
stick on envelopes), put your phone number on them and hand
one to each person asking them to contact you if they see
your pet.
-
USE THE
POWER OF SCENT! Place a recently worn article of
clothing in your yard; for cats that usually stay indoors,
place their litter box outside. Familiar scents can bring
them home!
-
ADVERTISE:
Post fliers in all public places - grocery stores, community
centers, churches, etc. Place an ad in the classified
section of your local paper. Offer a reward if possible.
Caution: to protect yourself from pet recovery scams, leave
out one of your pets identifying characteristics so you can
verify the honesty of any caller who claims to have found
your pet.
-
NOTIFY
OTHERS: Call your local vet clinics. Your pet may have
been injured!
-
DON'T GIVE
UP! It's important to keep checking the shelters daily.
-
And the
next time: Protect your pet from getting lost again.
ALWAYS keep a collar with an ID tag on your pet. An ID tag
is your lost pet's ticket HOME. License your pet, as local
law requires - Finally, keep a picture of your pet on file
in the event he or she strays again.

Goal: To
bring lost pets home.
To become a
member, simply
email
us or
call us at
(216) 661-7791
with your contact information. You will be
alerted when animals are lost or when strays are
found wandering the
Brooklyn area. Just let us know if you have
seen the lost pet or if you know to whom
a stray animal belongs so we may re-unite it
with its family.
Anyone finding an
animal wandering the neighborhood should try to
take a photo, then call us and use the
to report it.
Our goal is to get the picture posted before
they are picked up by Animal Control, but even a
description is helpful. Let us know if you are
unable to take a photo (preferably digital). Pet
Watch volunteers from all over
Brooklyn will
receive an alert with the description and
picture of the lost pet or stray. The picture
will also be posted here on the Lost and Found
Pets page.
The Sun News has
agreed to create an “Operation Pet Watch”
section just for
Brooklyn. Each week they will feature a
photo and description of a lost or found animal
from the city.
