Animal Recovery Tips...
When Your Pet Is Missing
When a furry friend is missing, it can be scary, and every second counts when trying to get them back. The information below will provide you with the resources needed, and when followed in this order, will get the word out as quickly as possible, and help bring them home safe.
Immediately report your pet missing on:
- Both the Tussing Block Watch and Tussing Community's Facebook Pages ASAP so you can get your pet's info out to our community.
- PetFBI.com and Pet FBI's Facebook Page
- Craigslist
- Pickerington Pets Facebook Page
Please make sure you include a complete description of the pet, photo if possible and contact information.
Then...
- Hang "missing" posters at the entrance to each subdivision.
- Pass out flyers to neighbors
- Contact all local animal shelters and dog wardens, your vet's office and other vet offices that may be closest to the area in which the pet went missing.
- Many vets will allow you to post your information on their boards and this will also give them a heads up if someone brings your pet in, claiming that it is their own.
Specific Contacts:
For Dogs:
Contact both the Fairfield County Dog Shelter and Franklin County Dog Shelter
For Cats:
- Contact both Columbus Humane at (614) 777-7387 and each of the rescues listed in our shelter section.
- We also recommend placing an article of clothing and/or a litterbox outside your home, to help your pet follow their own scent home.
Found An Animal?
- Most local vets have the ability to check an animal for a microchip. This is one of the best ways to reunite people with their pets.
- Post the found animal on both PetFBI.com and Pet FBI's Facebook Page
- If the owner cannot be found and you are not in a position to hold on to the animal for any period of time, we ask that you please make every effort to find a "no kill" shelter to take the animal to. By state law, the Franklin & Fairfield County shelters are only required to allow 3 days for the animal to be claimed, before putting the animal up for adoption, or euthanizing it.
Being Prepared
Pets are a part of our families, so when it comes to medical emergencies, holidays and natural disasters we want to make sure we are including our furry, feathered and scaly family members in our emergency plans.

Help prevent dog bites to you and your neighbors by following these tips:
- If you own a dog, keep it securely confined on your property so it can’t escape.
- If your dog is off your property, have it on a leash at all times.
- If you encounter a strange dog, do not run! A dog’s natural instinct is to chase and catch prey.
- If you run, you are encouraging the dog to chase you.
- If a strange dog approaches you, don’t scream. Avoid direct eye contact with the dog. Try and remain motionless until the dog leaves, then back away slowly until the dog is out of sight.
