I lost my pet, what do I need to do?

You can file a lost pet report online. The most important thing you can do is come down to the animal shelter and look for yourself. There is no one that can identify your pet better than you. Come to the shelter every three or four days and look for your pet. Talk to your neighbors. Many times your pet may have stayed close to your home, but a neighbor may have taken your pet in thinking it was a stray. Many newspapers will not charge you to post a lost animal classified ad. The Fayetteville Craigslist page has a good lost and found section and social networking sites like Facebook, the Nextdoor app and Twitter can help spread the word. Check with veterinary clinics in your area.
