Lost & Found Pets
Missing a pet? Lost a pet? Stolen pet? Found pet?
What to do?
ACT FAST!
Email Sophie ASAP to work on your missing pet case!
Time is crucial when you have lost or found a pet, waste no time.
- Canvass the neighborhood immediately! Walk area of where pet was last seen (if driving pet may not be able to smell you or hear you & vice versa). If you have found a pet, always keep a leash & snacks in your car with you. If animal is approachable, leash it and ask pet to lead you to it's home. Walk around area asking others if they know who pet belongs to. Watch for clues from said pet. Follow your intuition as well as the dogs!
- Call your local police dept. Let them know you have lost or found a pet. Some police depts have pet holding facilities BEFORE animal goes to POUND. Some people when loosing a pet tend to call their police dept just like if it were a missing persons report. Apparently you can even contact the FBI National Crime Center (NCIC) if your pet is microchipped & was stolen to file a report.
- Call your local shelters. Let them know you have lost or missing pet. If your pet is missing not ony call local shelters but VISIT THEM DAILY TO LOOK FOR YOUR PET! Descriptions can vary in communication, mistakes happen, miscommunication happens, shelters are busy the front desk person sometimes has NO CLUE about the pets brought in by animal control officers and do not keep track of it, you must use your own eyeballs or enlistment of friends/family to help you LOOK in person! HOWEVER, if it's a found pet you must also take found pet there (or vet clinic) to check for a microchip by having shelter use a scanner over pets body to see if anything shows up on pets owner. The animal shelter I volunteer at advised me they once had a chip scan from overseas, the dog was registered in Belguim! They were able to reunite the pet and human! Vet offices also have chip scanners. It DOES NOT cost you anything but your time to have a pet scanned for a microchip, it is a FREE SERVICE. If someone wants to charge you then RUN! Then tweet about it and call local officials and raise a stink!
- Call your local vet let them know you have lost or found a pet.
- If you can foster pet that is great which is the better alternative to the shelter aka pound. Truth is shelter are full & time is limited for that animal. Chance of them being adopted are very slim. They have a great chance of being put to sleep. Even if they have a chip, sometimes mistakes happen and the wrong pet gets PTS before owner has a chance to arrive or figure out
- Post flyers around town. DO NOT list your home address, only a contact phone or email is fine. Picture of animal is crucial. Create a FREE blog, post info on there then post it everywhere online, emails, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, etc. DAILY!
- Google your local free pet posting ads online & add info to their data base. Your newspaper, your Craigslist, etc.
- Contact the media, get them involved to help you relocate your missing pet or the found pet! Radio Stations, News Stations, Newspapers!
- Hire a Pet Detective | Pet Psychic | Animal Communicator for additional resources.
PREVENTION TIPS
- Don't leave your dog unattended in your fenced in yard. Dogs jump fences, dig under fences, people steal dogs from fenced in yards, evil people slip toxic posion foods to dogs over the fences, someone like a child or lawnscaper or maintenance person may leave your fence gate open & your dog will slip away! Don't let your cats wonder outside, keep them inside where they are safe! Don't let your dogs wonder the neighborhood either! I don't care if you live in a rural area, cars, tractors, dognappers & dog fighters, hunters, sick minded individuals are lurking everywhere! City, suburbs and countryside. No animals is safe wondering loose without YOU! End of story! Why take a chance of loosing your beloved pet? THINK!
- Be cautious with strangers asking about your dog & where you live when out on walks!
- Never leave your dog unattended in a car.
- Don't tie your dog outside the store.
- Have your pet microchipped.
- Have recent photos of your pet.

Animal Behavior & Communication|Dog Psychology
Ever wonder what it is your pet is thinking or why they are doing the behavior they are doing? Want to find some answers? There is something you desire your dog to understand and learn but your dog is not following through and you are not quite sure how to train your dog to understand what it is you are wanting it to do exactly? Wouldn't it be great if you could contact a translator to help bridge the gap of interspecies communication? You can! I have been able to successfully communicate with animals all my life on a level different then most humans communicate. I watch & understand animals "signals" behaviors being in tune to their body language which they use all the time. You might think your pet is "acting out" but what they are really trying to do is get your attention about something in the only way they know how! Thus, I created the term "pawpathy"
My goal is to help you be a better pet parent by creating a tailored plan that meets the needs of both you and your pet to create a winning team! I will help you understand your dogs behaviors, teach you and your dog to work together as a team, to understand basic commands and achieve interspecies communication. All this is taught to you and your pet in a loving positive approach to dog training.
Basically what this means is that, the animals want to learn but they might be confused about the message you are sending or language you are using. This could be your body language, your unintentional reward of bad behavior or your lack of experience as a dog trainer, etc. etc. (after all most people are not dog trainers or animal communicators so this is where I step in and help both the human and the dog achieve balance together!) I am here to clear things up...to translate different languages, to help both you and your pet understand one another more effectively!
My personal motto is: "Coaching humans - translating for animals!"
I can also advise and consult on what type of dog personality by means of a puppy or shelter dog aptitude tests in order to determine which dog/puppy would be best for you and your particular lifestyle. I.e. family pet, guard dog, farm dog, emotional support companion, jogging partner, house mouse, service dog, therapy dog, etc.

Pawpathy
Sophie, pawpathist
Pawpathy; n. - pronunciation: \po-pə-thē\ (paw [Middle English pawe. Old French powe ]meaning "the soft padded foot of an animal; that has claws or nails" and patheia [Greek for pathy] meaning "to be affected by/perception/feelings") a form of communication similar to telepathy(aka mind reading/intuitiveness/E.S.P.) involving one of the beings (living or passed on) to have paws in which the transfer of information on thoughts & feelings between beings with paws to and from beings with no paws occurs beyond the other five known senses.
