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 San Marcos, 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 San Marcos 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 San Marcos so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Blue reflective dog harness with paw-print charm

I lost my blue reflective dog harness yesterday around 5:30pm near the H-E-B on Wonder World Dr in San Marcos. It's a Rabbitgoo brand, size small, with a sturdy D-ring and a quick-release buckle. The harness has a tiny paw-print charm hanging from the strap and a thin orange reflective stripe along the edge. My dog is a rescue and this is the harness that fits him best; I really need it back because it's the only one that works. If anyone found it, please let me know—it's got sentimental value for me and my pup.

Brown and white terrier mix, lost near Texas State campus

I lost my brown-and-white terrier mix yesterday around 3pm near the Texas State University campus in San Marcos on Aquarena Springs Drive, by the LBJ Student Center. He's a medium-sized guy, about 20 pounds, with a bright red collar and a small silver tag that has my number. There’s a heart-shaped white patch on his chest and a tiny scar on his left hind leg that you can spot when he lies down. He’s a bit shy with strangers but warms up quickly, and he’s been my hiking buddy since I adopted him last year; this dog means the world to me. If anyone spots him, please text me—I’m really worried and would be so grateful to bring him home.

Lost small bright green pet green tree frog named Croaky, last seen in backyard near flower bed in San Marcos.

I lost my pet green tree frog, named Croaky, in the backyard while I was watering the plants. He usually hides under the leaves near the flower bed, but I haven't seen him in a couple of days and I'm worried he may have wandered off. If anyone finds him, he is quite small and bright green with some reddish patterns on his legs. Please help me get him back.
