We know how heartbreaking it is to lose a beloved pet — and how confusing it can be to find one without knowing who they belong to.
At Chipped Monkey, we’re here to help. Our mission is to bring lost pets back home safely. With our reliable database and easy-to-use tools, reconnecting pets with their rightful keepers has never been easier.
Please select an option below to get started.
1. Approach Carefully: Approach the pet slowly and calmly. Lost or injured animals may be frightened and unpredictable, so avoid sudden movements and speak softly.
2. Look for Identification: Check for a collar or ID tags. If there’s a phone number or address, try contacting the keeper right away. These details can lead to a quick reunion.
3. Visit a Vet or Animal Shelter: Take the pet to a local vet or shelter to be scanned for a microchip. This is often the fastest way to locate the registered keeper. If the pet appears injured, the vet can also provide immediate care.
4. Notify Local Authorities: Contact your local animal control, dog warden, or council services to report the found animal. They might already have a missing pet report that matches.
5. Share on Social Media: Post clear photos and a description of the pet on community groups, lost and found pages, and neighborhood forums. Be sure to include where and when the pet was found.
6. Look for Lost Pet Posters: Check your neighborhood for any flyers or posters about missing pets. Many keepers place them near the area their pet was last seen.
Your efforts can make a world of difference to a lost pet and its family. If you're unable to locate the keeper, consider contacting a local animal rescue group that can help ensure the pet is safe and cared for.
