We have made a decision to close our missing/found pet form after several months. There were several problems with it: it had become unreliable (some reports didn' t make it to us for days) and some people could never figure out how it worked. There was also no capability for sending pictures thru the form -- they had to be sent separately, and that lost some convenience points.
Not that we're not going to report missing and found pets -- this is one of our main jobs! What we ARE asking is that, if you have found or lost a pet, you include some basic information:
WHO: You are, so we can resolve this successfully
WHAT: Description of pet, including identifying marks, collar, microchipping, etc.
WHEN: When did you find it/ lose it
WHERE: Location where you found it/lost it/last seen
HOW: Tell us some of the circumstance of how the pet was lost or found -- maybe it will spark somebody.
We love our animals, and they should all go back to the homes of people who love them! Just write to: altadenablog@gmail.com, and include a picture if you can.
