Who is Pet Search

A long time ago…17 years to be precise, Pet Search was established as the only central place to report lost and found animals. As the years have gone by, thousands of people have used Pet Search to find their missing pets and also to report stray animals they have found. We operate 7 days a week to reunite pets with their families.

These little ones are still not home…

While we are able to reunite a lot of lost pets, not all of them have been reunited with their families, so we wanted to dedicate this newsletter to 3 of of those pets that have been missing for more than a month. Our newsletter is not big enough to include them all, so if you would like to see all of the lost pets we are searching for their pictures & descriptions are at http://www.petsearch.com.au

	Nizmo an Alexandrine Parrot missing from Kirrawee, NSW on 15/9/09. He is very distinctive as he can say "hello", "hello Nizmo", "I love you", "I love you bob", "Kiss", "Missy Missy", "Good Boy", "How ya doin", "How ya goin", "Go Tigers", "There you go", "Kettle" and "Good morning". He can also wolf whistle and imitates the sounds of a sun conure. He also makes the kissing sound after saying "kiss". He loves chewing wood and dangling toys.
	Biggles is a domestic medium haired white cat. He went missing from his home in Baulkham Hills, NSW on 28/8/09. Biggles is desexed and microchipped and he was wearing a green collar with 2 bells attached.
	Guai Guai went missing from her home in Burwood, NSW on 31/7/09. She is desexed & microchipped. She was wearing a black jumper when she went missing.

We have lost pet posters for all of our lost pets, if you are able to display a poster for a lost pet in your area, please let us know and we will send a printed poster to you.

Attention Veterinary Practices and Animal Welfare Agencies

Pet Search has access to the following microchip registries and can look up and contact owners of stray animals that have come into your care. Rather than you having to ring each registry individually, you can make one phone call to us and we can check the following:

* NSW companion animal registry (NSW CAR)
* Central Animal Records (CAR)
* Australasian Animal Register (AAR)
* Pet Safe

Please update your facility’s stray animal procedures to include Pet Search as the first place to contact with strays. You can phone (1300 309 004) or fax (1300 760 836) the details of the stray animals to us.

If the microchip is not on any of these registries we can assist with tracking microchips back to the distributors to try to find who the batch of microchips was sold to and potentially who microchipped the animal and this person may be able to help locate the owner. While it is not always successful as it relies on a paper trail of microchip implanting or change of ownership forms, it has helped us reunite the lost pet in a lot of cases.
