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 North Platte, 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 North Platte 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 North Platte so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Black and white border collie with red collar

Hey, I lost my black and white border collie this afternoon around 3:15 pm near the Walmart on S Dewey St in North Platte. He's around 45 pounds, wears a bright red collar, and there's a small blue squeaky toy hanging from the tag ring. He has a distinctive crooked ear on his left side and a white heart-shaped patch on his chest. He's super friendly but a little skittish around strangers, so he may bolt if approached quickly. This dog is family to us and has sentimental value—we really need him back.

Leopard gecko, tan with orange spots near library

I lost my leopard gecko, Pico, yesterday around 3pm near the North Platte Public Library on 4th Street. He's about 4 inches long from snout to tail, tan with orange spots along his back, and the tail tip is a bit darker. He has a tiny chipped scale behind his left eye and a small scar near his right toe from a shed incident. Pico is shy but loves warm lights and crickets, and he's been part of our family since last year. It would mean the world to me to get him back; I can offer a small reward for his safe return.

I lost a small green tree frog named 'Jumpy' while taking a walk around North Platte's city park yesterday. He escaped from his habitat when I was misting it before our stroll, and I accidentally dropped him. He's about 2 inches long and has bright green skin with a few little yellow spots.
