ü      We recommend taking the animal to a vet clinic to be scanned for a microchip.

ü      We also suggest placing an advertisement in the area paper.

ü      You may also make up flyers and distribute in the neighborhood and local store bulletin boards.

ü      If you are able to hold the animal for the legally required number of days to determine if it’s lost or will need placing (3 days). Let us know and we will also try and find someone to foster the animal. If that is not possible (and we don’t have anyone to foster) then the animal should go to Nebraska Humane Society.
