What to do if your pet goes missing

First, contact your city's animal welfare organizations and volunteers.

Secondly, check all nearby garages, basements and secluded places where the dog could hide.

Carefully inspect bushes, thickets or even forest parks where the animal could become entangled, caught in a leash, collar or harness.

In addition, go around residential areas, shops, metro stations and other crowded places, as dogs can look for owners in the crowd.

Third, post missing notices with a photo of your pet and your phone number.

Post on social media and ask for maximum sharing.

To prevent your pet from going missing, hang a badge on your pet's collar with your address and phone number.
