Losing a member of your pet family is a very stressful and upsetting event: the first tip is to not panic. According to some surveys, 93% of dogs who are lost are successfully recovered. We’ve compiled a few steps and tips to get your best friend home as safely and quickly as possible.
There are concrete steps you can take to effectively recover your pet, but you must also be mindful to tailor your search to your specific pet.
How do they respond when people yell or run straight at them? Are they aloof? Will they respond to their name? Swift action, coupled with major neighborhood networking, will increase the odds of recovering your animal. A major factor is to get the word out and not be shy in enlisting help.
With our experience, we have here some tips to give an overview of best practices for recovering your animal.
Be wary of scams
When talking to a stranger who claims to have found your pet, ask him to describe the pet thoroughly before you offer any information. If he does not include the identifying characteristics you left out of the advertisements, he may not have your pet. Be particularly wary of people who insist that you give or wire them money for the return of your pet.
Good places to post your flyers include parks where people walk their dogs, pet supply stores, pet grooming shops, and local veterinarians. Various commercial establishments like local grocery stores, malls, gas stations, cafes, and restaurants are other good high-traffic options.
If you have found a stray pet and wish to retain it in your home and provide care while actively seeking the owner, you may do so BUT please advertise about it and fill out our found pet form. This report will be sent to our staff and be placed into our found pet national database.
If the pet has not been reunited with its owner after 72 hours: you may continue holding him or her and you may contact the Humane Society of Morocco/local rescue organizations who may assist with alternative placement, you may not bring the dog to the municipal pound as they will not attempt every method possible in creating a positive outcome but simply kill it!

Some pets are natural escape artists, even if you try to keep indoor cats inside and dogs on a leash. If you have a pet who likes to roam, supervise when they’re outdoors and try to determine their exit point. For example, does your fenced yard have a place where a pet can wriggle out? Work with animal trainers to address behavioral issues and practice regular training. Check your pet’s collars and harnesses to make sure they are secure, and microchip your pet with up-to-date contact information.
Yes, a pet microchip can play a critical role in reuniting you with your pet. A veterinarian or shelter scans the pet with a microchip reading device to look up the contact information associated with that chip. Be sure that your contact information is up to date in the microchip database so that you can be reached.
