Lost & Found

If you have lost or found an animal, here's what to do:

1. Act quickly!

2. If the Found animal is wearing a rabies tag, call the phone number on the tag first.

3. Have a Found animal scanned for a microchip at the Humane Society, Animal Shelter or veterinarian's office; this could quickly lead you to the owner.

4. Call and/or visit the Murray/Calloway County Animal Shelter at (270) 759-4141.

5. Email the pet's photo*, description (approximate size, gender, color, distinguishing marks or features) and contact numbers to the Humane Society at humanesociety@murray-ky.net. along with any other pertinent information. The Humane Society will send a lost/found notice to their 800+ Animal Advocates.

6. Call Murray Ledger & Times at (270) 753-1916 (or fax 753-1927) to run a free classified ad for one day.

7. Call the local radio station to add the animal to their lost/found list at (270) 753-2400.

8. Call or visit local veterinarian offices:

Animal Health and Wellness Center of Murray:  (270) 753-4830                                 Murray Animal Hospital:  (270) 753-2088
Veterinary Medical Center:  (270) 753-7011
Warner Animal Clinic:  (270) 753-3213

9. Prepare a flier; include a photo, description (approximate size, gender, color, distinguishing marks or features) and contact numbers to call with any information. You can replace the information in this Lost Pet Template - Word file.

Post fliers at veterinarian offices, the animal shelter, Humane Society and local businesses. Distribute fliers to homes throughout the neighborhood where the pet was lost or found, the mail person and neighborhood businesses.

* The Humane Society maintains a Lost Pet Photo Registry. This free service includes owned pet photographs and descriptions so they are ready to email to the Animal Advocates should the pet become lost.

Found

                              Found Mon., Nov. 12, 2007                                                                                    These two little girls were found off of Hwy 94 and taken in on Monday, November 12th at Hope Harbor Church so that they would not get run over by the traffic. One seems to have a terrier or schnauzer mix of some sort with coarse wired hair, and she was wearing a pink collar with no tags. The other seems to be a longhaired Chihuahua mix wearing no collar or tags. They are both loving little girls who just want to be pet and loved, and want to find their homes! If you have any information on either one of these dogs, please contact Cindy at 293-4047 or the Humane Society at 759-1884.
