   Lost Pet Advice 
   and 
   Find Your Pet 
   Strategy Plan 

In Newspapers
Use the Lost and Found pets section in the classifieds section of your local newspaper and/or adjoining papers if you live in a "border" area. Or you could try a large display ad such as the one below for even greater impact.
Keni's ad  Real life example of a display ad placed in the Cook Strait News. As at 16 November 2004, Keni is still missing. Please phone if you think you have seen her...

Newspaper Ad Example 
             
LOST
Big ginger long 
haired male cat from Kitt St, Petville on 29 Feb.  Ph Cleo 555 5555. View www.petsonthenet.co.nz 
Ad Number 1234 for more.

              

Here's a bad example of the same ad
ie) what not to do with abbns. (abbreviations!)

              

LST. Bg G-cat lg hrd m frm Kitt St Ptvle 29.2. Cleo 555 5555. petsonthenet 1234
                
State LOST as your first word, or it can be ambiguous if your ad is for a lost or found pet.
Where missing from ie) suburb or street and suburb
Date your pet went missing/was last seen.
Species and breed ie) Siamese cat or Border Collie dog. 
Most cats are no specific breed, in which case "cat" will do.
Coat length ie) Short, medium or long hair
Colour/s
Sex of pet
Your contact name and number (preferably not just a cellphone number) as people may be reluctant to pay a toll call to phone you, or they may have a toll bar.
Use abbreviations to save ad space/cost ie) Ph for Phone, mob for mobile phone. But try not to get too cryptic or no one but you will understand your ad! 

See our bad example on the right to show how bad abbreviations can seriously muddy your message.
