Helpful information you need when you have lost your pet

1.	Create a LOST pet poster here at ThePetFile.com. Print off as many posters as possible and display them on lamposts, noticeboards etc. Also, use our email service to email the poster to all your local friends, neighbours etc.


2.	Get in touch with your local Animal Warden and/or Rescue Centre. Every local council has an Animal Welfare officer who is responsible for stray dogs roaming the local area. In most cases they are aware of any animal(s) that have been handed in within their area.
