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

Leopard gecko, yellow with brown spots, lost

Category: Reptiles & Amphibians. I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on Burkhardt Road in Evansville. It's about 6 inches long, yellow-tan with irregular brown spots and a bright orange tail tip, and it has a small crescent-shaped scar on its belly from a minor fall last month. I’m really worried—this gecko was a gift from my daughter and means a lot to us; if you find it, please email [email protected].

Leopard gecko with orange spots missing

Yesterday around 6pm I lost my leopard gecko near the Walmart on Burkhardt Road in Evansville. It’s about 4 inches long from snout to tail, gray-beige with bright orange saddle spots along the back, and the tail looks a bit fatter than normal when it's healthy. There’s a tiny blue spot behind the right front leg and a small crescent-shaped scar on the left jaw—that combo is how I’d recognize it if I see it again. This little guy means a lot to my 8-year-old; it was a rescued pet and keeps him calm at night. If you’ve seen anything, please drop me a note here—really hoping to bring him home.

Green leopard gecko, missing near Eastland Mall

I lost my green leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near Eastland Mall on Burkhardt Road in Evansville. It’s about 4 inches long, lime green with brown speckles and a darker stripe along the back; its eyes are big and curious. There’s a tiny white speck at the base of its tail and a faint orange patch under the chin—pretty easy to spot if you know what to look for. It’s my niece’s pet and was a gift, so it means a lot to us—really hope someone picked it up and kept it safe. If you found it, please message me through the app so we can arrange a meetup.

Red-eared slider turtle missing near Eastland Mall

I'm missing my red-eared slider turtle, Wrangler. He's a small adult, about 4-5 inches across his green shell with bright yellow stripes, and a distinctive red patch behind each eye. I last saw him yesterday around 3pm, wandering near the Eastland Mall parking lot off Burkhardt Road in Evansville. He's a friendly little guy, and his shell has a small crack along the right edge from a tumble last month, plus a couple of faint scratches on the plastron. He loves basking under a lamp and hides under rocks, and he's been part of our family since he was a hatchling; my daughter is really attached to him, so this is really worrying. If you've seen him, drop a note here or email me at [email protected].
