When pets go missing, most people do not know what resources are available to them. In addition to the assistance of a pet detective, many owners do not know all of the shelter locations in the area. Do you know that most shelters only offer a 72 hour hold period, and in some cities it is only 48 hours?
Please take the time to educate yourself on all the possible places to which a picked up pet may be transferred or taken. Also take the time to check the shelters in person.
