What to do if the dog is lost
The National League for the Defense of the Dog suggests us what to do in case of loss of our dog:
• give it immediately reporting to the Municipal Police or to the Veterinary Service of the ASL
• upholster the area where the loss occurred, and the surrounding ones, of posters where the description of the dog is indicated (size, color, sex, name, possible race, particular signs, microchip, type and color of the collar, characteristics of his personality: shy, fearful, sociable), completed by a photo and the owner's telephone number. Post the posters in particularly popular places such as bars, newsstands, shops and transit points, bus stops, dumpsters, veterinary clinics, animal shelters
• do not limit the search to the area where the dog is lost because he may have come a long way from the moment he got lost
• send the appeal to local newspapers and radios
• contact the animal welfare and zoophile associations in the area
• go personally to the kennels in the area and neighboring ones and ask to take a ride in the pits
• call local vets
Lost cat: what to do
As in the case of a lost dog, it is necessary to cover the area and surrounding areas with posters, visit the reception facilities and ask the radio and newspapers to broadcast your appeal.
