Call Pet Shelters & Animal Clinics for Missing Pet
When a pet goes missing a private investigator can be hired to help locate your missing pet. A private investigator will locating a missing pet by using the same tactics and dedication as they do a missing person. When a pet goes missing there are a number of steps an investigator will take to find your missing pet. One of the first steps for private investigators is to begin checking all of the local pet shelters to see if anyone has turned in a missing animal and if it is the one in question. When the shelters turn up empty, often the next step is to make phones call to the vet clinics to see if a missing pet was injured or taken to the vet office to see if they have been chipped. However, if both vet clinics and shelters are a dead end, a deeper investigation is needed.
Potential Leads on Missing Dog
When a pet goes missing often the investigator will see where the pet was last seen and look for potential leads as to where the pet would have gone, or if it got loose and wandered off on its own. The investigator will ask neighbors if a pet might have turned up in their yard or if they found a missing pet and took it home until the owner could be located. However, this is one of the best case scenarios. Often pets don’t just go missing. Some pets are stolen.
My Ex Stole My Dog
When a pet is stolen an investigator will first look at the possible purpose for taking the pet and what the thief has to gain by taking the pet. One of the common reasons why a pet is stolen is when a relationship goes bad and the other partner feels like the pet belongs with them. When a couple breaks up and a pet suddenly goes missing, a private investigator will contact the ex and see if they have the pet.
Most Stolen Dog Breeds
Another situation for a pet to be stolen is when the pet holds value can be taken for self-gain. Certain animal breeds are worth a lot of money and can be resold. In some cases, some dog breeds are stolen for illegal dog fights. To determine why an animal was stolen the investigator will note the animal’s breed, along with age, and coloring. Rare coat colors in dog breeds can be a prime target for pet theft. Other dog breeds that are used for dog fights are also commonly taken. If the animal breed has value, often the investigator will pursue that lead. Other material, if provided, will also be reviewed. A number of public places have surveillance cameras. If the dog was stolen in view of the camera, the private investigator will go over all possible surveillance video feeds. There are also a number of home and neighbor surveillance systems today. Many often provide a number of leads as to where your missing pet will be.
