Shadow a German Shepherd mix male, went missing on September 21, 2012 and was not found until 6 long weeks later. This page was originally started for him so the community could get together to post information and ideas in hopes of finding him. The page has remained, with Shadow being the inspiration for and a reminder to NEVER GIVE UP! This page includes pets missing from Ledyard and Gales

Ferry along with those from neighboring towns. What to do if you have LOST a pet? Below you will find different suggestions. Some are our own and some from others. But all can be very helpful in getting your pet back home.

1. FIRST call the Ledyard Animal Control at 860-464-9621 or after hours call Dispatch at 860-464-6400 if local. Otherwise call the animal control for your town. Feel free to contact this page with the info and we will also post on this page. A message button is at the top of the page.
2. Be proactive! Have all of your info needed to alert others about your pet. This includes: name, breed, sex, color, unusual markings, and size. Also needed is the road/neighborhood it went missing, time/date last seen, and your phone number for quick contact. And lastly a good photo of your pet, preferably showing the entire pet.
3. Start walking your neighborhood taking with you a leash, flashlight, and treats. Alert neighbors of your missing pet and ask them to check their garages, shed, under floors/decks, etc.
4. Put posters up in your neighborhood. Keep it SIMPLE including a title of, LOST DOG/CAT, a phone number", and the pets photo. Get these up ASAP in the immediate areas.
5. Hand out flyers in neighborhood and put up in local businesses. Also don't forget your postal carriers, school bus, UPS, and Fed Ex drivers as they travel throughout your neighborhoods.
6. Avoid sending out search parties as this can many times spook a pet, especially one that is skittish, and make them run farther away. The goal is to keep the pet in one area. As hard as it is to understand, lost pets go into what is called "survival mode" and they will not always respond to you and could also run from you. Stay calm, speak softly, avoid eye contact, and be PATIENT. Let your pet come to you.
7. Consider a pet tracker or trapper who can help immensely in your search. Most importantly, NEVER GIVE UP. FOUND PETS
If you find a stray pet, you must contact your animal control so that they can take it to the shelter and attempt to find its owner. They will also check for a micro-chip and insure the pet is not sick or injured in anyway. You may send us a photo and the area found, along with your contact info and we will be happy to post it on our page.

Very good info to be sure pets make it back to their true owner. Lots of bad people, flippers, and hoarders out there so be diligent!

**VERY IMPORTANT PSA!**

Folks, we are pleading with you. Unless a found animal is wearing an identification tag, allowing you to directly contact the person whose information is on that tag, please for the love of all that is good in this world, just turn the dog over to Animal Control! We don’t urge people to do so because we want to punish the owners, we say it to prevent awful things like this from happening.

This individual has a lengthy history of prowling free pet pages and town Facebook groups from all over the state, looking for free animals. Yesterday, they attempted to claim ownership of a found dog, even going so far as to completely fabricate multiple veterinary documents when we requested proof. Fortunately, this ain’t our first rodeo and we know BOGUS when we see it. Plus, by the time this individual had even contacted us in hopes of picking up this cute little fella, he was already safe at home with his rightful family, so clearly this was a bit suspicious!

This situation really gives us pause though; how many pets have accidentally been handed right over to fauxners, just like this individual, by the well-meaning folks who found them wandering and were just trying to do the right thing? It pains us to think about the families who never see their beloved pets again and never learn what became of them.

To try and avoid that heartbreak, we’d like to stress some main takeaways and tips:

* We would *very* strongly urge you to relinquish roamers to Animal Control instead of posting on Facebook trying to find the owner yourself. You can always make a post to inform whoever the owner may be that their pet was found and is now safe and sound at the shelter. We will be able to CONFIRM that someone attempting to claim ownership is indeed the rightful owner before returning the pet.

* Keep current ID, rabies, and town license tags on your dogs! That way a finder can contact you directly if at all possible. Also, having up-to-date veterinary history and a current town license helps you to prove ownership should your pet escape and you’re trying to redeem it from us!

* MICROCHIP YOUR PETS!!! Then make sure you register those microchips with your information, and maintain current contact information with the microchip company at all times! Microchipping allows shelters and veterinary hospitals to locate a wandering animal’s owner right away. Further, should someone steal your pet, heaven forbid, microchip information can help prove ownership and aid you in the return of your beloved pet!

At the end of the day, we are SO glad we were able to ensure this situation turned out the way it did, with this pup safe at home with his real family.

We would like to think that this individual has learned their lesson. However, we aren’t so naive to believe this will be the last time anything like this ever happens again. Unfortunately, we know that it happens far too often. So let’s all take whatever precautions we can to keep pets, both our own and those of others, as safe as we possibly can.
