The Importance of Reporting Lost Pets
Reporting a lost pet is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it increases the chances of being reunited with the pet. According to the ASPCA, the majority of lost pets are found within a mile of their home and within 24 hours. This means that if a pet is reported lost, there is a higher likelihood of it being found quickly and returned to its owner. The sooner a lost pet is reported, the better the chances of being reunited with it. Reporting a lost pet also helps to reduce the stress and anxiety of the owner, who may be worried sick about their pet’s whereabouts.
