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 New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Blue reflective dog harness with Milo tag

I lost my blue reflective dog harness yesterday around 3pm near Market Square in Portsmouth, NH. It's a medium-sized nylon harness with bright blue fabric, orange stitching along the edges, and a small LED tag on the chest strap. There is a tiny tear on the inside near the neck and a faint scuff along the reflective strip, and the tag reads 'Milo' with a paw-print sticker. Milo is a rescue and this harness was a gift from my sister, so it means a lot to me—I would really appreciate getting it back so we can keep walking.

Black and white border collie mix with blue tag

I lost my black and white border collie mix, Scout, yesterday around 4pm near Market Square in downtown Portsmouth, NH. He's about 45 pounds, medium build, with a lime-green collar and a blue reflective tag that says 'Scout.' He has a distinctive white blaze on his chest and a small nick in his left ear. He’s generally friendly but may be wary of strangers, and he recently had vaccines but is up to date; he’s microchipped (number ending 1234). I really need him back—this little guy is my best buddy and this has sentimental value; I worry about him wandering off near the river.

Cockatiel named Sunny, yellow crest, gray body

I lost my cockatiel Sunny yesterday around 3pm after I stepped out to take a quick call near the Mall of New Hampshire on South Willow Street in Manchester. Sunny is a gray cockatiel with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches, about the size of a pop can. He has a blue leg band with the letters "NH" and, when outdoors, I often put a light blue harness on him with a tiny bell. He’s very tame and responds to his name; I’m worried sick and miss him a lot—he’s part of the family and the house feels quiet without his chirps.

Gray tabby cat with blue collar, Portsmouth

I lost my gray tabby cat, Milo, yesterday around 6pm. He’s a gray tabby with white paws and chest, and a small notch on his left ear. He wears a blue collar with a tiny silver bell. I last saw him near Market Square in downtown Portsmouth, NH, near Prescott Park. He’s really special to me—he’s shy at first but incredibly loving once he warms up, and this cat is also a little vocal when he wants attention. Please message me if you’ve seen him; I’d be so grateful to be reunited with him.

Lost small bright green pet Green Tree Frog named Jumper near the pond and garden area in a backyard in New Hampshire.

I recently lost my pet Green Tree Frog named Jumper near the pond in my backyard in New Hampshire. He’s small and bright green with a little yellow on his belly. I last saw him hopping around in the garden area, and now I'm really worried since he might have jumped off into the bushes. If anyone has found him, I would really appreciate it back as he is a beloved pet.
