If you have lost a pet in Rutherford
County, the best thing you can do is to get the word out in a hurry. If
you have a picture of your pet, make flyers with large print of pet's
name, identifying marks or characteristics. Include the date and place
your pet was last seen. Put them in places like the stores and
Post Office near you. Post them at street corners. Call the local vets
and describe your pet to them and then take posters for the veterinary
offices. Check your flyers regularly to be sure they are still where you
placed them and that they remain in good condition.
Advertise in the Lost and
Found column of The Daily Courier and Rutherford Weekly.
Borrow a humane trap if
your pet has been sited in a certain area. Check the trap frequently and
keep fresh food in the trap.
The Humane Society will
post a picture of your lost pet in our office and on our website. Contact
us.
