Losing a pet is a horrible thing. This page is meant to help people get a start on finding their beloved pet! Or, if you've found someone else's pet, you can post here to try to reach an owner. Please remember to add dates to postings. Due to the number of missing pets, those who have been missing for one year or longer may be moved to the Lost Pets Archive page.
In addition, it helps to be proactive! If you have an indoor pet, you may want to consider having your pet implanted with a small microchip. Although you cannot track a missing pet with a microchip, a person will likely contact a local animal humane society, shelter, animal hospital, etc., and one of the first things they will do is scan the animal to see if there's a microchip implanted, which will have all the relevant information to return your pet to you! This costs only $15 at the VMTH, and can be done by most veterinarians, and is highly recommended!

What Else You Can Do
When you first lose (or find) a pet, here are some practical first steps you should take:
-
Visit the Yolo County Animal Shelter (where your pet will likely end up if it is taken to the police, or if somebody finds it) in Woodland at 2640 E. Gibson Rd. It is open Tuesday-Saturday 10-6, closed for lunch 1-2 and closed on Sundays and Mondays. A shelter employee will gather information on your pet and walk you through the shelter to see if your pet is there. You may also file a lost-report at this location, complete with pictures if you have them. Your lost report will be on file with the SPCA on-site employee and will be checked with every animal brought into the shelter.
-
Call the Yolo County
SPCA at 758-7722 and provide a detailed description of your pet. If you have digital photos of your pet, you can email these to a SPCA representative.
-
Post fliers within a 3-block radius from your home or last seen location and talk to your neighbors directly.
-
Call the Davis Police Department at their non-emergency number (530)747-5400. (The people who found our dog called the Police Department).
-
In addition to the Davis Wiki, post ads in
Craig's List,
Davis Enterprise, and
Petfinder.
-
Post a flier at Petco's bulletin board and other pet stores.
-
If you have lost a cat, realize that the cat may be hiding during the day due to all the commotion and dogs being walked outside. Go out at night when it is quiet and call your cat's name. You may find that the cat has been hiding in the neighborhood nearby. They often don't go very far.
-
Hire a pet detective. One DavisWiki user was reunited with her lost tabby cat after hiring a pet detective named Donna Holsten at
findingpaws.com.

Lost Dog: Chihuahua mix named Ellie *REWARD*
Hi everyone,
At 4pm yesterday, my beloved Ellie suddenly bolted out of sight. I (and some friends) have been searching nonstop since then, and we have seen no sign of her.
She was last seen at Tanglewood apartments (Corner of Cowell Blvd. and Research Park Dr.) at 4pm on Tuesday June 9th.
She is a 10lb Chihuahua mix, with white and lab yellow markings. She is about 8 years old, and is very shy and fearful but never aggressive. She does not have her collar and tags on, but she does have an AVID microchip registered to me.
Please, please, please call me anytime day or night if you have seen her or know where she is. My cell phone number is (530) 693-0694.
Please spread the word to everyone you know that could help or could have possibly seen my little girl. I am offering a $$$ reward for her return.
Thank you for your help!

Please help! Lost Black Male Chihuahua Puppy! Reward! (May 27th, 2009)
I work at an elementary school in Davis, California. A student in my class (she is 9 years old) came to me in tears this morning telling me that her new Chihuahua puppy named "Pinky" had escaped out of her backyard yesterday morning (May 27th). I am going to do everything I can to get this dog back to her!!!
Here’s some basic information:
*Pinky is a black male, 12 week old Chihuahua puppy with white spots (especially on his throat)
*He was NOT wearing a collar and does NOT have a microchip yet.
*As he is only 3 months old, he has not yet been fixed.
*Pinky weighs less than 2 pounds and is very sweet tempered. He likes people and loves to chase after little toys and cuddle with people.
*He disappeared from the Suntree Apartment Complex on 2033 F Street in North Davis - across the street from the Davis Art Center.
*He was last seen crossing the street towards Speedee Auto Change/Tune-Up and the Rent-All Center (both on F Street).
***Pinky belongs to three young kids who miss him VERY much. He is a very tiny puppy and I am very worried about him running around in the heat with no water and no food. ***
I am offering a decent reward if you locate Pinky and return him to these wonderful and very, very worried young kids.
Please e-mail me at Shamrock1123@aol.com (or you can just respond to this e-mail)
ANY information would be wonderful and greatly appreciated!
No questions asked - reward will be paid when Pinky is brought home.
Thank you!

FOUND: Boxer 6/22/09
Found Boxer, near Marshall and Otis, West Sacramento, Bridgeway Lakes. Found 6/22, please call to identify. (916) 588-7469.
FOUND large mixed breed dog near Covell and Pole Line 6/18/2009.
Unfortunately, although this dog was wandering free, he is not fixed. He has no tags. He has no microchip. I sat with him where I found him for about 2 hours, but nobody came looking. He has an infection in both ears that smells horrible and clearly causes this poor guy pain. I took him to the vet and it turns out that, although this guy has been living with the infection for a long time, the fix is very easy - he is now on ear drops and is feeling much better only 2 days later. He is very sweet in spite of the pain, and quite well mannered. If you think this dog belongs to you, feel free to contact ruthlesscog@gmail.com.

Found Blue Parakeet 1/19/09
At about 6:00pm on January 19th 2009 on B Street just south of the Martin Luther King School a blue parakeet flew up from the ground, landed on my shoulder and fell asleep. It did not have and indentifying tags or markings but was clearly someone's pet. I could not bring it to my apartment since I am a cat owner and I didn't have the heart to leave it at the scene (I didn't think it could survive on its own with all the cats running around Davis). I brought it to the Petco on Covell Blvd and they took it in. So if you are missing a super-friendly, super-cute blue parakeet. Head over to Petco.
