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

Lost canines near Memorial Stadium, Lincoln

Friday night around 8:15 p.m., Milo, a friendly golden retriever, and Luna, a quick border collie mix, bolted from my side near the UNL campus, by Memorial Stadium. I was walking them along 27th Street when a jogger's dog darted by and they slipped their collars in the chaos. Milo has a white chest patch and is remarkably trusting; Luna is alert and a little wary of people she doesn’t know. I'm terrified they'll wander into traffic or slip far from the crowd; if you saw two dogs matching that description near the stadium, please let me know on the site.

Lost blue dog collar with silver tag near a park in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I lost my dog's collar while walking in the park near Lincoln last Saturday. The collar is blue and has a silver tag with my phone number on it. I'm really worried because my dog has been known to wiggle out of it, and I want to make sure it's returned as soon as possible.

Lost small bright green pet tree frog named Sophie at Hartley Park in Lincoln.

I lost my pet green tree frog, Sophie, at Hartley Park in Lincoln on Saturday afternoon. She is small, about the size of a grapefruit, and has bright green coloring with a few little speckles. I believe she may have hopped away while I was setting up her habitat outside for some fresh air. If anyone spots her, please let me know as she is quite special to me.
