What to do when your pet goes missing
Help! My Pet is Missing
Until recently, we had not idea on the power of a missing and loved pet! This article comes to you from a first hand experience with Honey the missing Dachshund. On the 4th November 2021, Honey the Dachshund was on her road to a new family on the Gold Coast from NSW when she unfortunately got out and made a run for it from her carers home. Fast forward now we are Day 20 and Honey is still out there in NSW somewhere. (Lets hope when you are reading this that Honey has found her way home).
FIRSTLY BREATHE.

How many hours do I need to wait before stressing about finding my pet?
Please do not wait to start searching for your lost pet, dog or cat. Use the guides and/or contact Milly's Search, Trap and Rescue. The sooner you start the process of trying to find your pet and make the community aware that they are missing, is very important. As an example; Scared dogs or dogs chasing something have been known to travel some distance in a short amount of time.
Do not wait to see if your pet comes home by itself. Otherwise you have wasted valuable time.
