Lost a Pet? You've come to the right place.

Do these things right away:

Report

Report your missing pet and search for a match on Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database where shelters and neighbors post found pets.

Look Around

Look around the area where your pet was lost. Create LOST PET signs and hang them as you walk around the neighborhood. Also, make sure you visit local shelters and check their websites.

Share

Share your Petco Love Lost flyer on social platforms, including our Lost & Found Pets of the Pinebelt page. Click here for a more comprehensive list of  Facebook groups.

What else should I do?

Reach out to friends, family, and neighbors

Ask family, friends, and neighbors to help you search within a one mile radius of your home. 80% of lost pets are found within a mile of where they live, so your pet probably has not gone far!

Visit the shelters

Visit our animal shelter and other nearby humane societies daily to look for your pet and monitor found reports online. Click here for a list of local shelters.

​A pet—even an indoor pet—has a better chance of being returned if he/she always wears a collar and an ID tag with your name, address and telephone number. Microchipping is also available at your local veterinarian or the Southern Pines Healthy Pet Clinic. To help reunite with a lost pet faster, we also recommend registering your pet(s) at Petco Love Lost. It's absolutely free!
