What else can I do?

The first thing you should do is visit your local humane society and animal shelters. You must go in person and you should visit them at least every other day. The shelters are often overrun with animals and inquiries making indentification over the phone or via a flyer very difficult.

Pets with microchips and tags can accidentally be euthanized in busy shelters. Do not rely on someone on the phone saying your pet is not there! You can search for your local humane society.

LostPetCards.com was established to help free up your valuable time so you could focus on making the very important personal contacts in the search for your pet.
