Find a dog or a cat looking for a home.

To wrap up this four-part series on tips for finding a lost pet, one of the more important tips I would like to emphasize is to not give up searching too quickly. Pet parents who succumb too soon to thoughts that their pets were stolen or killed may miss an opportunity to find their pet. I encourage you to instead tailor your search to the situation and apply the tips and techniques of this Pet Column series to increase the chances of finding your lost pet.

Hi my name is Penquin.  As a formerly “lost cat” I am wrapping up this Second Chance Humane Society Pet Column series on tips to find your lost pet. I am following up last’s weeks Psyche of the Lost Dog with a little Freudian (or would it be Skinner?) look at how understanding cat behavior will help you to find a lost cat. 

This Second Chance Humane Society Pet Column continues the topic of tips on finding a lost pet. Last week we discussed the immediate steps you should take if you have lost a pet. Today I am going to help you understanding the unique behavior of a lost dog as we demonstrate distinct patterns of behavior, often different from our normal behaviors, making it harder for our people to find us.
