�The best way to make sure we receive your information is to post it directly to
our page. We get hundreds of notifications from comments and tags. So if you need us to post something don't "tag" us or it could be lost among the many. Craigslist, Animal Control, KGLT/KMMS, Stafford Animal Shelter and Heart of the Valley are an integral part of them being found! This page will help facilitate the process of the reunion with their owners and provide a place to go when the other businesses are closed. Please also do the following in advertising the lost pet:
1. Notify KGLT, 406-994-4492, they broadcast lost pets every day at noon. AND usually when you call it in, that DJ will announce it.
2. Report the lost pet to Animal Control, 406-582-2249 city, 406-582-2000 ext. 2 county, 406-388-4262 Belgrade, 406-222-2050 Livingston.
3. Report the lost pet with photo to Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter in Bozeman, 406-388-9399, and/or Stafford Animal Shelter in Livingston, 406-222-2111.
4. Run an ad in Lost & Found in the Bozeman Chronicle, which is free for 7 days.
5. Post a photo flyer in the area the pet was lost, and near their home, and get out and talk to neighbors!! In Livingston:
Call the shelter at (406) 222-2111 to report that your pet is missing. Do not wait a few days and see if the pet shows up first. new lost pet photo section on our new website: http://staffordanimalshelter.org/lost-found-pets/
After 3 days at the shelter, the animal becomes the property of HSPC and will be evaluated for adoption. Adoptions are final. New adopters of unclaimed strays will not be contacted to return a pet if the original owner shows up. As a general rule, once your pet has been missing overnight, please call the shelter as soon as possible. Go to the shelter and look at all the animals. It is not possible in many cases to confirm a pet's identity over the phone. Please advise a staff member as to the purpose of your visit because sick or injured strays might be at an off site veterinary clinic. If we do not have your pet, make sure you fill out a lost pet report at the desk. Please bring us a picture of your pet. We will notify you as soon as anyone calls or brings in any possible match. After your initial visit, we recommend shelter visits two to three times a week in order to view all strays received. Be patient and don't give up too soon! Call the Enterprise at 222-2000 to place a LOST PET classified ad. Post pictures of you pet at convenience stores, on telephone poles, and in grocery stores near the location your animal was lost. We encourage you to check with us twice a week if your pet is still missing. Our voice mail is on during the evening for your convenience or you may email us via this site. Please give both the pet's name and your name when you call or write. We keep lost pets on our active list for 3 months. We will keep the pet on the active list even longer if you request. Please notify us when your pet is found. And keep hope �
