  5. Place an ad in the lost/found section of your local newspapers.
       - Most papers offer these ads for lost and found free of charge
       - Weekend ads work best
       - If a FOUND animal is not claimed, work with a rescue group to help place it into a loving home
       - NEVER offer "free to a good home"
     

  6. Once you find your lost pet, Microchip or Tattoo them ASAP to prevent this happening again!
