“My mom was literally physically ill when her dog Mac went missing. He was lost on a Wednesday. Then it rained. It took me until Saturday to think of hiring Pet Search and Rescue. They came out on Sunday morning AND FOUND HIM!!!!!!! I can not thank you enough. I just can’t.”

How to Prepare for Your Lost Pet Search
- Photo of your Lost Pet: Email him a picture of your lost dog or lost cat. If possible have it be a clear picture of your lost pet that shows the pet from the side.
- Reward Amount: Email him if you are offering a reward and how much. If you have questions if you should offer a lost pet reward or not, he can offer a suggestion and explain why or why not.
- Volunteers: Jim works with your volunteers. Start by getting a group of volunteers to help with the search.
- Search Event Organization: Jim helps you organize a search event for your lost pet. His Search Dogs and your volunteers take your search efforts to the next higher level. Especially effective if you have tried everything to find your lost pet, but with no luck. Communicate to Jim about a time and day that works best for you and your volunteers. He will advise you what supplies to have volunteers arrive with.
- Scent Article: Have a Scent Article for the Search Dogs, such as bedding or a toy.
Testimonial
“Thank you again for your help on Saturday finding Julie. While we certainly hoped for a more positive outcome, we are much, much calmer knowing where she is. We buried her in the backyard in her favorite place. Sam the Search Dog is our heroine :)”

*We do not provide Private Investigator services in Kentucky. If you have a theft case or missing property case we will refer you to a licensed Private Investigator.
- Talk to your immediate neighbors – don’t just put a flyer in their mailbox. You need to ask them questions and ask for permission to search their property for your lost pet.
- Don’t stop your search too close. In many parts of Kentucky there is farmland and large rural areas. Pets can get further away. Don’t just look close to home.
- Get the word out – any way you can! Specifically in Louisville and Lexington we had great luck with lost pet flyers and bigger posters.
- For lost cats in Kentucky, make sure to leave a way for them to return home on their own. For dogs lost, leave a way for your dog to get back in too – make sure it is safe.
- Offer a specific dollar amount reward.
- Check the newspaper’s “Found” section.
