A fast, practical plan for finding a lost pet, plus the shelters and microchip registries to contact.

Lost: 'Wild and Domestic' in Northwest KS

On Tuesday around 4:30 p.m., I was browsing the Oakley Main Street Market when I realized my paperback 'Wild and Domestic' was missing from my tote. I hurried back through the aisles, past the grain elevator and the old soda shop, hoping to spot it on a shelf or a chair, but it was gone. The book is a gift from my grandmother, and it’s become a small source of comfort during long harvest season in this part of Kansas. If it turns up, I’ll swing by to pick it up and share a cup of thanks with whoever found it.

Leopard gecko with orange spots, escaped

I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm after I was cleaning the tank in our apartment in Hays, KS. It's about 4 inches long from snout to tail, with a pale yellow-tan body and bright orange spots along the back; the tail is a bit thicker at the base and has a couple of faint dark rings. There's a tiny irregular scar on the left front toe that helps identify it. I last saw it under the couch and I worry it may have slipped into a vent or gap around the living room. This little guy is really cherished and has sentimental value—if anyone finds it, please reach out to me at [email protected].
