Ways to Locate Lost Pets Using the Internet

The Internet makes it faster and easier than ever to find lost pets. We'll recommend several sites that may help you locate your lost cat or dog.

The first site, Petfinder.com, is primarily an adoption site but also has a section devoted to pet ads in the local classifieds. You can search for lost pets by entering your state, a keyword, and other options, such as the breed or type of animal.

You also have the option to post your own pet classified. In your ad, you can describe your lost animal, and other Petfinder users can contact you if they know anything.

Another good site is Pets911.com, which is a kind of online lost and found for animals. You can report your pet as lost or search for found pet reports on the site.
