Lost pet — how to find them fast

A fast, practical plan for finding a lost pet, plus the shelters and microchip registries to contact.

When a pet goes missing in Augusta, speed and visibility are everything. Most lost pets are found close to home within the first day.

  1. Search the immediate area. Check nearby gardens, sheds, and quiet spots. Bring treats and a familiar item, and call calmly.
  2. Alert the microchip registry. Flag your pet as missing with the microchip database so your details are current if they're scanned.
  3. Call local shelters and vets. Phone shelters, pounds, and veterinary practices around Augusta and ask them to note your pet's description.
  4. Post online and on lost-pet databases. Share clear photos in local community groups and lost-pet services.
  5. Put up visible notices. A simple poster with a photo, the area, and a contact number still works.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-pet listing for Augusta so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Lost Terrariums near Augusta Common

This morning, around 9:30 a.m., I was walking along the Augusta Riverwalk near the Augusta Common in Augusta, Georgia after visiting the Riverwalk Farmers Market and realized my Terrariums were missing from the tote I carried. The three glass containers with tiny ferns and pebbles were in a plastic box; one holds a plant from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. I retraced my steps along Telfair Street toward Paine College, but they didn’t show up. I’m hoping someone simply picked them up and kept them safe until I can collect them.

Lost dog: Cream beagle mix with red collar

I lost my cream beagle-mix yesterday around 5:30pm near the Augusta Common, just off Broad Street. He's a medium-sized dog, about 30 pounds, with a faded red collar and a tiny bone-shaped tag. He has a white patch on his chest and looks friendly, but he gets skittish when he's away from me. This dog is my kid - I've had him since he was a puppy, and he holds sentimental value. I'm really worried and just want him home safe in Augusta.

Blue parakeet with yellow chest, lost in Augusta

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my blue parakeet with a yellow chest near the Augusta Mall on Wrightsboro Road. He's about 7 inches long, with cobalt-blue feathers and a bright yellow patch on his chest, and he wears a small green leg band marked 'FP'. One tail feather is a bit longer from a past molt, which makes him easy to identify. He's really outgoing and answers to the name Pico; this bird means a lot to me, it's a rescue from a few years ago, so I'm worried I won't see him again. If you spot him, text me right away.
