What Happens When a Pet Goes Missing?

If your pet ever turns up missing, there's a frantic search to find them. Pets will often escape the confines of the yard, or they may bolt through the open front door and take off running down the street. Sometimes, when this happens, pet owners don't realize it until it's too late. Once they realize it, they're calling neighbors, posting on social media, and asking anyone if they've seen their missing pet.

Sometimes those missing pets turn up in other parts of the neighborhood, and homeowners there wonder who the dog or cat belongs to. If the pet is microchipped, it's usually a joyful reunion; if they're not microchipped, they could end up in a local shelter just waiting to be claimed by their owners.
