Losing a pet can be a scary and terrible experience and it can happen to any of us. According to statistics, one in three pets become lost at some point in their lives. 😿 However, a missing pet need not be lost forever. Today on National Lost Dog Awareness Day, we want to share some helpful tips to make sure your lost pet finds their way home.

💟 Report your lost pet: First things first – report your lost pet on Petco Love Lost with a photo go make your pet visible to finders. Petco Love Lost is a free and easy way to search 300K+ lost and found pets to help them return home. Check them out here: https://petcolove.org/lost/

💟 Keep watch: Engage your neighbors, post on social media and keep an eye out on our HSSW lost pets page: https://www.petsgohome.org/pet-services/lost-pet-services/

💟 Check the chip: GET YOUR PETS MICROCHIPPED! Lost pets that have a registered microchip are far more likely to be reunited with their owners. Collars, harnesses and tags can break off or be removed. A microchip will permanently identify your pet when they get lost. Your pets not microchipped? Here at HSSW you can come into our low-cost wellness clinic and chip your pet for just $24. Check out the details here: https://www.petsgohome.org/veterinary-services/wellness-and-vaccine-clinic/

While no one wants to think of their furry friend in a shelter environment, you can rest assure, if they do find themselves brought into HSSW, our caring staff will welcome them with open, loving arms. ❤❤

🛏️ Thanks to the generous sponsorship from The Beloit Mattress Company, Moon is getting the care they need while waiting for their forever home. Their support helps cover the costs of food, vet care, and more to keep them healthy and happy until they find their match. 🛏️

Moon is a 3-year-old grey male with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. He may be a bit shy at first, but give him a little time and patience, and you'll see his sweet, affectionate side shine. Once he feels safe, Moon adores attention and rewards it with the softest purrs. If you're looking for a calm, loving companion who just needs a little time to trust, Moon could be the perfect addition to your home. He is located at the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin!

Thanks to the generous sponsorship from Katie Flores - WI&IL Insurance Broker, Matilda is receiving the care they need while waiting for their forever home. Their support helps cover the costs of food, vet care, and everything else they need to stay healthy and happy. 🐶 "

Matilda is an energetic, confident girl who truly believes she’s the queen of the world – and honestly, she might be right! She’s got the most unique, hilarious-looking tail that wags with full authority, as if she’s issuing royal decrees to everyone around her. Matilda enjoys playgroup, but don’t be surprised if she takes charge of the situation – she’s got a little bit of a bossy streak and likes to make sure the other dogs know who’s in charge! She’s playful, full of personality, and will keep you entertained with her quirky ways and confident attitude. She would do well in a home where she can get plenty of exercise and structure. While she’s friendly with other dogs, she’d do best with a canine companion who respects her "bossy" nature. If you're looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and add some royal flair to your life, Matilda might just be your girl! Visit her today at the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin!

Johnnie is giving a big ol' WOO-HOO to Daniels Foods Sentry - Janesville West for an amazing donation they dropped off for our pets this past week. And when we say big, we mean BIG!! In total: 36 bottles of Fabulosos, 42 bottles of bleach, 72 jars of peanut butter, 72 cans of wet dog food, 84 cans of wet cat food and 30 bags of treats!! So PAWsome! ❤

The items donated by Sentry are some of our top needed items and here's why:
- We use approx. 3 bottles of Fabulosos a week to help clean our drains in our kennels
- We use approx. 5 bottles of bleach a week on shelter laundry
- Intake & Enrichment needs about 2-4 jars of peanut butter a week for meds, Kong's and more ...
- Our dog care staff go through over 18 cans of wet dog food A DAY!
- While our cats go through 1 can of wet cat food (per cat that needs it) per day! Right now, that's around 30 cans A DAY! *Not all our cats get wet food, but we do use it for picky eaters, scared kitties, nursing mothers, cats with a kitty cold or for weight gain (among other reasons)**

You can see how quickly we can go through things around here. That is why Johnnie and all his friends here at HSSW are so grateful for such an amazing community partner!
