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

Lost cockatiel with yellow crest

I lost my cockatiel. He’s a small gray bird with a bright yellow crest and orange cheeks. I last saw him yesterday around 3pm near the Yuma Public Library on Main Street; he slipped from his cage and disappeared into the area behind the shops. He’s about 11 inches long from beak to tail and has a tiny white scar on his left wing from a scrape last month, and he usually steps up on a finger and answers to 'Sunny'. This bird means a lot to me and I really need him back.

Orange tabby cat with white chest, lost

I lost my orange tabby yesterday around 7pm after a gate slipped open near the Walmart Supercenter on 16th Street in Yuma. He’s about 12 pounds, short-haired, with a white chest and a tiny white patch on his left ear, plus a small notch in that ear. He wears a lime-green collar with a bell and has bright green eyes; there’s a faint scratch on his right hind leg from a brush with a fence. He’s really loved and has sentimental value—I've had him since he was a kitten. If you spot him, email me at [email protected] with any info.

Leopard gecko missing near Yuma Crossing

I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near the Yuma Palms Shopping Center off 4th Ave and 24th St. It's a small gecko, about 3.5 inches long, yellow-tan with brown spots and a chunky tail that stores fat. It has bright blue eyes and a tiny nick on the tip of its right front toe from a past tumble. The pattern sometimes looks a little orange when stressed. She's named Pebbles and has been with me for months; I’m really hoping she’s found and brought back—she’s shy but extremely curious, and I’d worry to bits without her.
