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 Butte, 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 Butte 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 Butte so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Border collie mix with blue collar and white chest

I lost my dog Nova yesterday around 5pm. She's a medium-sized border collie mix, about 40 pounds, with a brown and white coat and a distinctive white blaze on her chest. She was wearing a blue collar with a yellow ID tag. She has a small scar on her right hind leg from a past scrape, and she tends to wag her tail in a figure-eight when she's happy. I last saw her near the Copper King Hotel on Harrison Avenue, near the old courthouse, and she might have wandered toward Uptown Butte chasing a scent. Nova is microchipped, and she means the world to me—she's been my constant companion since she was a puppy. If anyone sees her, please text me right away.

Lost gold-colored dog collar with a small bell near Old Butte Mine Park, a cherished gift from owner's late grandmother.

I lost my dog's favorite collar, which is a gold color and has a cute little bell attached. I believe I dropped it while walking inthe park near the Old Butte Mine last Tuesday. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my late grandmother, and I'd hate for someone to find it and not know its significance.
