What should I do if my pet goes missing?

• Thoroughly search the property – sometimes they can simply be hiding
• Notify the neighbours and ask them to keep an eye out for any sightings
• Check the places they regularly visit – I left you a list of places below
• Call in help from family or friends

Make sure to include your pet’s name, description and their photo. But most importantly don’t forget to include your contact details. Once you have finished the flyer do a letterbox drop or add it to your local noticeboard.

Start with the local ones and then try those outside the area. Sometimes pets wander far from home or are found by people and taken to pounds in another area.

RSPCA Qld have a Lost and Found Service. You can register them as missing and search for them. The service is available either online or via phone on 1300 363 736

Use social media - search for our local suburb's lost pets group on Facebook and post your contact details and a picture. You can also write a general post on your page - just make sure it can be shared!

Pets have been known to turn up months after going missing – please don’t give up!
