February 14 is not only Valentine's Day. It is also Pet Theft Awareness Day!

Pet Theft Awareness Day is February 14, the day of love and the love we have for our cherished pets. We observe Pet Theft Awareness Day to shed light on the disgraceful act of pet theft. Throughout our human history, domesticating animals has been gratifying. Humans and animals share a bond of infinite trust and a sense of belonging, and separation can be a traumatic experience for both parties. With pet theft and dognapping reaching alarming rates, Pet Theft Awareness Day is perfect to share resources about pet safety, and the actions we can take to recover stolen pets.

Pet Theft Awareness Day is observed to enlighten the various methods of identification that can lead to the recovery of stolen pets. More than half of American families have a pet. The love we have for our pets can be rivaled only by the concern we all share about their safety. No matter how many doors we lock or leashes we buy, the risk of losing our pets can never be too low.

❗️ ONE IN THREE pets go missing at some point in their lives.
❗️ ONLY 20% of them are safely reunited with their families.
❗️ Adding to these heartbreaking statistics is the fear of a stranger intentionally seeking to hurt your family and your pet with a petty act of theft.

The day was founded on the principle that prevention is better than cure. The pain of losing your pet cannot be put into words. The increasing cases of pet theft have made it imperative that we follow all safety protocols that ensure the security of our pets.

Last Chance for Animals advocates for microchipping, tattooing, and many other methods of pet identification. The foundation provides a formulated road map and a game plan to recover your fur baby if it goes missing.

Dedicated to February 14th, the day brings awareness to pet theft and highlights ways to prevent the theft of your beloved pet.

The danger of pets being stolen is real. In honor of this day, we’re spreading the word to help dog lovers make good decisions and reduce the risk of pet theft. Spread the word to help animal lovers make good decisions and reduce the risk of pet theft.

WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR PET FROM THEFT:
✅ Microchip your pet. It’s the number one way to make sure your pet makes it back to you.
✅ Organize your pet’s information. Have all of your pet’s medical information and recent pictures in a handy file.
✅ Ensure your yard is secure. I have a padlock on the gate in my backyard to prevent anyone from opening my gate.

❌ Never leave your pet unattended.
❌ NEVER leave your pet unattended in a car.
❌ Don’t leash your pup or cat outside a store while you run inside. So many things could go wrong. Don't make it easy for a thief.
