Missing Pet or Stray Pet?

Understand the terminology.

It can be confusing, so here is what we mean: If you want to post a pet (that you own) as missing, then you should go to Post a missing pet. If you want to post a cat or dog that has been hanging around your house, then go to Post a stray pet.

When to Post a Missing Pet

Your cat, dog, parrot, aardvark (whatever) goes missing:

There is no specific time period that you need wait, when you first think that your pet might be missing, before you make a post on POST a Missing Pet. But a good rule of thumb is: Your pet has been away for a time that is longer than usual, you're getting worried. After you have searched the area around your property and checked with your neighbors, relax for a couple of hours then make another complete check around your property. If you are then feeling uneasy about the situation, make a post.

When to Post a Stray Pet

A cat or dog has been around your property for a couple of days.

Sometimes it is hard to say if the unfamiliar cat or dog in your back yard is a stray pet or one that a neighbor recently aquired. Before posting it to Stray Pets, ask your neighbors about it.

If you begin to suspect it is a stray, check the VIEW Missing Pets to see if it has been posted. If not, wait a day then check again. If it seems hungry, uncared for or injured, you should POST a Stray Pet right away. Keep checking View Missing Pets every so often to see if the owner has posted. If you feel the animal needs immediate attention or has been around for too long, call the MHS (603) 352-9011 ext. 101.
