What to do if you find a stray in New Glasgow

  1. 1

    If the pet seems safe to approach, check for a collar and tag

    A visible phone number or tag is often the fastest path to reuniting the pet with their family.

  2. 2

    Take a clear photo and note the exact location

    Photos are the single biggest factor in matching a stray to a lost-pet listing.

  3. 3

    Post the sighting on Lost.ca

    One minute, no account required. Your post is visible to every owner searching New Glasgow.

  4. 4

    Take the pet to a shelter or vet to scan for a microchip

    Most shelters scan for free. Vets can also check the microchip registry.

  5. 5

    If you can safely hold the pet, do so

    Many owners aren't nearby to pick up immediately. If you can't hold them, at least mark where and when you saw them.

Shelters and rescues near New Glasgow

Contacting local shelters is one of the most important steps in reuniting a lost pet. Many shelters only hold stray animals for 72 hours, so call the ones nearest where your pet was last seen as soon as you can. Lost.ca partners with humane societies and shelters across Canada, and many now post the strays they take in on Lost.ca too, which is why owners often spot their pet in this feed before the shelter calls.

Frequently asked questions

I found a pet in New Glasgow. What should I do?

Take a clear photo, note the exact location, and post a sighting on Lost.ca. It takes under a minute and doesn't require an account. You can also take the pet to a local New Glasgow shelter or vet to scan for a microchip.

Do I need an account to post a sighting?

No. Posting a sighting is anonymous by default. You can optionally share your email or phone if you're willing to be contacted by the pet's owner.

What if the pet ran off before I could get close?

Post the sighting anyway with the direction the pet was heading and any description you remember. Owners search the Found feed constantly, and even a rough direction helps.

Is it safe to approach a stray?

Use your judgement. A scared stray can bite. If the pet seems calm, check for a collar. If not, keep a safe distance, note the location, and post a sighting. The owner can take it from there.

How long do sightings stay visible?

Sightings remain on the Found feed until an owner claims them or until the auto-moderator removes them if they're flagged as inaccurate.
