What should I do if I've lost a pet?
If you've lost a pet, first search your neighborhood. Go door to door and talk to your neighbors. Search in the evening, when it's quiet. Call or whistle. If your pet is injured or frightened, he may be hiding. Drive around the neighborhood; a dog will sometimes recognize the sound of your car.

Put up posters and distribute flyers with a photo and description of your pet. Don't include every detail about your pet; hold back a distinctive feature or trait. That way, if someone calls claiming to have found your pet, you can determine if they are legitimate by asking about a feature that only someone who actually has your pet would know.


Go to the IMPOUND page in the BENCHS website to see if your pet has been brought to impound. Send an email with complete information about your pet, a good photo of the pet, and your contact information to cats@benchs.org or dogs@benchs.org. We will do our best to keep an eye out for your pet and contact you if we see it. 

Check social media:  Lost Pets Mankato Facebook page, Lost Dogs MN, Lost Cats MN, your neighborhood Facebook page, Nextdoor app, Craigslist, etc. Also check other area impounds listed below.
