Delta Pet Partners Program

Quote from website:
"Pet Partners® program
Delta Society's Pet Partners program trains volunteers and screens volunteers and their pets for visiting animal programs in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, schools and other facilities.

The Pet Partners program was established in 1990 to ensure that "both ends of the leash," people as well as animals, were well-prepared to participate in animal-assisted activity and animal-assisted therapy programs. Pet Partners is the only national registry that requires volunteer training and screening of animal-handler teams.

Delta Society's national network links volunteers with facilities in their own communities that request visiting pets and helps Pet Partners contact facilities to begin visits in new locations."

Lost & Found Pets of Putnam County

1) Call. If there is no answer, leave a message.

      Animal Services Shelter
      County Landfill Road off Hwy 17 North
      (386) 329-0396

      Humane Society of Northeast FL
      The HSNEFL maintains "lost and found" files for animals reported to them.
      112 Norma Street in Hollister, FL
      The shelter & office are staffed 7 days a week from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
      (386) 325-1587

      The Palatka Daily News and other local newspapers. Post in the Lost & Found Section.

      Area vets
         Your pet may have been injured and taken to one of the local vets.
         This happens more in cases where someone hits an animal and feels responsible for it.

2) Visit.
As soon as possible visit all local shelters. What you call a large dog someone else might call medium. Your well groomed pet may have traveled through mud and briars giving it a total different look. How often? Daily to a high-kill shelter is not too often.

3) Post colorful flyers. Put a picture of the pet on it. Reward? Put that on the flyer also.

4) Show your pet's picture around in the community.
Show it to your mailman, the UPS/Fed Ex delivery person if you see one. The more eyes looking for your pet the higher your chance to find your pet.

5) Don't forget that pets travel - either on their own or they may catch a ride with someone. Check surrounding counties and leave your contact info.
