Lost Animals

We know it can be very stressful when a beloved pet goes missing. Here are some tips.

1) Call us at 604-519-2008 to see if your pet is here or if we've received a matching Found report. If not, we will create a Lost report with all the pertinent information.

2) Keep an eye on our Facebook page as we post Found Pets when we cannot find their owner right away.

3) Post a Lost Pet ad on networking sites such Pawboost & Missing Pets in BC, and in social media apps like Facebook and Nextdoor. Remember to update if your pet is found.

4) Search your neighbourhood. Speak with neighbours, mail carriers, etc. Some tips for looking for your lost pet:

• Keep in mind your pet's personality: do they get spooked easily and tend to run away? If so, then you might have to expand your search beyond your immediate area. However, if your pet is very friendly towards people, chances are someone might find it before it gets too far. Knowing your pet’s behaviour will help you in your search.

• Create an eye-catching poster, keeping it simple: "Missing!" a big, colour photo of your pet, and a phone number. Place posters at intersections, in front of apartment buildings, and any high visibility area. Drop them off at veterinary hospitals, pet stores, and of course, our animal shelter.

Don't forget! Please update us if your pet is found.
