Example Listing
Lost dog: Taffy, a small, brown shaggy terrier was lost in the 800 block of Maple Street, between Pine and Elm,
in Smithtown, Illinois about 7 PM on Sunday, December 20, 1999. He ran out the door during a thunderstorm and we couldn't find him. He is about 25
pounds and is wearing a blue nylon quick-release collar with a license tag from Douglas County, a rabies tag from the Animal Medical Center, and a blue bone shaped ID tag with his name and our phone number on it. Taffy is microchipped, and tattooed on the inside of one thigh. Taffy's coat mats in the rain if he is not brushed out immediately, so he may look scruffy and uncared
for. We will pay a REWARD for information leading to Taffy's safe return home.

Where the animal was lost:
A minimum is state, city, and street name, with cross streets. The name of your housing development is not enough.
When the animal was lost:
Please give the date, and a general time of day, if known.
A description of the animal, including color and markings:
Please be sure to include age, approximate size and/or weight and sex. Giving a breed or species name is not enough. Not everyone knows what a conyer looks like and or what color
you mean when you say a dog is blue or a cat is red. Be sure to mention if the animal was wearing tags or is tattooed or microchipped. We will not put the id numbers on the web page.
Contact Information:
You must include contact information. Your
name and a phone # or email are required.
Other information:
The circumstances of how your animal was lost can be helpful, for instance, if your dog was frightened by fireworks, he may have spent quite a while running. If your animal mats easily, or likes to roll in the mud, that may help. If you are offering a
reward, this is where it would be mentioned.
