Show Your Love

We ARE a vital partner and a needed asset in our community. Please help us continue our mission. We challenge every pet lover in the Central Dakota area to show your love for your own animals by giving back to those less fortunate - the stray, abandoned and abused creatures who find their way to our doorstep and who are eventually adopted into wonderful, forever homes.

LOST AND FOUND

Here's what to do.

Whoever encounters an untagged animal has no alternative but to assume it's a stray and the animal ends up in a pound or shelter. Whereas, if a pet has tags, one phone call can reunite them with their family. An ID tag is an instant ticket home!

According to the American Humane Association, only 17% of dogs and only 2% of cats that enter shelters are reunited with their guardians. Making sure your furry companion has the proper identification is your best defense against losing your pet.

Lost or found a pet?? Here's what to do... If we all do our part, perhaps every lost pet can be successfully reunited with the people who love and miss them.

	Contact the Central Dakota Humane Society (667-2020) to check if the animal has been reported. CDHS keeps a list of lost and found calls.

	Contact Animal Control in both Bismarck and Mandan (Bismarck 223-1212 and Mandan 667-3455). Ask the police to see pictures of impounded animals, or the police can escort you to view impounded animals.

	Call the local radio stations.

	In addition to posting a notice on this site, call the "Bismarck Tribune" and "The Finder" and place an ad in the Lost and Found column. Giveaway and Found ads are free for three days. Lost ads are $10 for five lines for seven days.

	Make lost or found pet posters. Include a picture, description and information on how to get in touch with you. Post them in store windows, grocery stores, bulletin boards and veterinarian offices.

	Check with friends and neighbors. Make posters with the appropriate information and distribute them in your neighborhood.

For lost pets, in the future, make sure your pet is wearing its license/ID tag on a collar along with its rabies tag. Correct whatever problems exist in your method of confinement that allow your pet to escape and ensure that your method of confinement is humane.
