What to do if you Lose your Dog During Fourth of July Week
If your pet is brought to The Animal Foundation between July 1 and July 10, come to the shelter immediately to reclaim them. We will be waiving all reclaim fees during this time to ensure your pets can get home to you as quickly as possible.
Walk around your neighborhood or the area where the dog was lost.
Ask neighbors to check their garages, under cars, and their yards. Call the dog's name, stop, and listen frequently. Do not chase a lost pet. If you see your pet, sit on the ground and talk to them in a normal voice, offer treats, and take your time.Is your dog microchipped?
Contact the microchip company where your dog is registered and make sure the contact information associated with the chip is correct.Upload a photo of your pet to Petco Love Lost.
