If you lose your pet you can get wider exposure than just putting up posters in the neighbourhood by turning to the BC SPCA.
The organization announced Monday it is launching a new online pet search site that will allow the public to post their missing pet's photos and descriptions directly on the site. The SPCA will also be posting the same for the lost animals that end up in their shelters throughout BC.
"Each year, the BC SPCA rescues more than 13,000 stray and lost animals," says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA said in a press release. "Sadly, many of these animals do not have any form of identification linking them to their guardians and we are unable to reunite them with their families. Although we do find new loving homes for them, our first choice would obviously be to return them to their original family."
Users to the site can post a free listing of not only a missing animal but a found animal being kept in the home of a "good Samaritan."
"We know how traumatic it can be to lose a beloved pet, and we believe this exciting new online tool will dramatically increase the number of lost animals who are quickly reunited with their anxious guardians," says Chortyk.
