SpyGearCo: Spy and Surveillance

Animals turn up at shelters weeks, and sometimes months, after they’ve been lost. Likewise, finders will sometimes not report a wandering animal to us until weeks after it first appeared in their neighborhood. Animals provide the perfect living environment. 

Check to make sure the pet is actually lost. Make sure he/she is not out with a family member, in the back yard, or hiding somewhere unusual. Check back with them occasionally, in case they lose your information. If your pet has current information on his ID tags, follow all these tips anyway.

Check into the vacuum cleaners with the special HEPA filters too, and use them often. Check all local parks, dog runs and any of your dog’s favorite places throughout town. Check out any former residences where you lived with your pet, no matter how long ago you lived there. Contact old neighbors and leave them a flyer or photo.

Leaving windows open slightly at the top surely helps IF there is a breeze. However, that opening also invites children to poke their fingers in or unkind folks to tease the dog with sticks. Leave your name, address and telephone number plus a complete description of your animal. Search in the evenings when it’s quiet. Leave them at veterinary clinics, groceries, laundromats, pet stores, grooming parlors, service stations in your neighborhood. Pass them out to neighbors and to newspaper carriers and other delivery people who service your area.

Cats that are spayed or neutered usually do not venture very far, while dogs fixed or not, can cover ground very quickly. You can often tell by the pet’s health and grooming if they have been missing for a long time, or have just gotten out. Cats may become trapped in neighbors’ garages, sheds and on construction sites. In the case of cats look also in trees and on rooftops. Cats may hide when strangers enter the house, reducing their chance of being found.

Include a phone number where you can be reached in big, bold numbers and encourage calls anytime day or night. Be sure to change the recording on your home phone machine to refer people to another phone number such as a pager or cell phone. Include your pet’s sex, age, weight, breed, color and any special markings. When describing your pet, leave out one identifying characteristic and ask the person who finds your pet to describe it. Include the pet’s name, description, a photograph, your name, and phone number. RCHS maintains a bulletin board in the Sundstrom mall downtown Gualala and you’re welcome to post your flyer there.

Dogs are often found in areas that they are familiar with – like a nearby park or school. Dogs suffering from demodectic mange usually do not scratch. This mange is most common in young short-haired animals and is marked in the early stages by small areas of hairlessness, accompanied by a red, irritated appearance. Dogs tend to circle back to the area -cats tend to stay close to home. If necessary, then expand the poster area outward.

Another cheap device parents can get for small pets and even birds is the Anti Theft Device. This device is great for shot distances when pet owners lose track of their pets in the house or yard.

The receiver switch to anti-lost and set up the reception range from the receiver (0-25m direct point-to-point which may vary due to the obstacle block or interference). The alarm will turn “ON” when they out of the setting distance.
Searching function – When the pet goes missing, simply switch the receiver to search and the alarm on transmitter will turn “ON” and you can find your pet easily. This device will protect your valuable things against losing or theft including missing children and pets.
