It's important to know what to do if you have lost your furry friend❗
🐕 🐈 It can be scary when losing your best friend, but there are actions you can take to help find your pet!

🐾 Try walking around your neighborhood or the area your pet went missing. Knock on doors and ask has anyone seen them!
🐾 Post pictures online! Take advantage of social media. It can be a quick way to spread the word and help locate your pet.
🐾 Call your microchip company! They are able to report your pet as missing and can make sure that all of your information is up to date.
🐾 Post flyers around town! Hang flyers in your neighborhood and within 1 mile of the area of where your dog/cat was lost or last seen.
🐾 File a report! Keep an eye out on your local shelter's website and visit your shelter every day to see if your pet was taken in. You are also able to call local vet offices to see if anyone brought in your companion to be scanned for a microchip.
🐾 Lastly, DON'T GIVE UP! It can be a sad, scary, and challenging time when losing your pet, but being persistent can help get them home! ❤🐾

Join us in supporting CARE Humane Society through our exciting challenge! For every punt that Oscar Chapman and Reed Hughes land inside the 20-yard line, they will donate $20 to CARE. We’re also inviting the community to match their generosity by contributing $20 to CARE for each successful punt.

Meet these amazing Auburn Tigers and discover why they support CARE—and why you should too!

Hi, I’m Oscar Chapman, a 25-year-old from Adelaide, South Australia. For the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of studying and playing football at Auburn, recently earning my bachelor’s degree in Accountancy. As the current starting punter for the Auburn Tigers, I’m excited to partner with CARE Humane Society this season. My passion for animals runs deep, and I’m committed to helping every cat and dog in CARE’s care live their best lives.

Hi, I’m Reed Hughes, a 23-year-old long snapper for Auburn. I recently completed my bachelor’s degree in journalism at Auburn and am now pursuing a master’s in communication. My connection with CARE began when I adopted a cat from them, and their kindness and support during the adoption process left a lasting impact on me. I’m passionate about helping more animals find loving homes, and I’m proud to be part of the CARE team!
