Lost pet — how to find them fast

A fast, practical plan for finding a lost pet, plus the shelters and microchip registries to contact.

When a pet goes missing in Bowling Green, speed and visibility are everything. Most lost pets are found close to home within the first day.

  1. Search the immediate area. Check nearby gardens, sheds, and quiet spots. Bring treats and a familiar item, and call calmly.
  2. Alert the microchip registry. Flag your pet as missing with the microchip database so your details are current if they're scanned.
  3. Call local shelters and vets. Phone shelters, pounds, and veterinary practices around Bowling Green and ask them to note your pet's description.
  4. Post online and on lost-pet databases. Share clear photos in local community groups and lost-pet services.
  5. Put up visible notices. A simple poster with a photo, the area, and a contact number still works.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-pet listing for Bowling Green so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Lost dog: tan lab mix near WKU campus

I’m really worried—my dog is missing. I last saw her yesterday around 3pm near the WKU campus, around the Downing Student Union area on University Blvd. She’s a medium-sized tan Labrador mix, about 50 pounds, with a white patch on her chest and a small notch in her right ear. She wears a bright red collar with a gold name tag that says 'Rhea' and a blue reflective leash. She’s normally very friendly but can be skittish around other dogs, and she tends to pull a bit when excited. If you’ve seen her, please reach out. This dog means a lot to my family, especially my sister who helped train her; we’d really like to bring her home.

Grey tabby cat with white paws, lost near Fountain Square

I lost my grey tabby cat Milo yesterday around 3pm. He's medium-sized, with white paws and chest, a pink collar, and a tiny silver bell. He has a small nick on his right ear and a faint limp on his left hind leg after a tumble last week. He bolted near Fountain Square Park, around Main Street and Center Street in downtown Bowling Green, and I’m really worried. This cat is more than a pet to me—sentimental value, please help bring him home; contact [email protected].
