If your pet went missing from your house or yard, the place to begin your search is in your immediate neighborhood. If you live near a busy street check there first - assure yourself that your pet has not wandered into traffic and been injured or worse. Walk around the area surrounding your home and talk to your neighbors - the mailman - children playing outside - construction workers, these people notice things like loose dogs and dogs are often attracted by the sounds of children playing. If you have a recent picture take it with you on your search. Leave your phone number and a description of your pet. Take your pet's favorite toy. Dogs and cats have hearing superior to ours and may be able to hear you from a great distance. If your pet has a favorite toy with a squeaker, bell, or any other noise maker, you can use it to your advantage. While you're calling out your pet's name, squeak or jingle the toy. Pick a time when you know your neighborhood is quiet. Searching your neighborhood during quieter hours can be a great help in finding your pet. Call your pet's name and then listen for his familiar bark Use your car. If your walk does not produce any information go back and get your car. Dogs recognize the sound of their master's car.
