Below are listed resources that every pet owner
should know about. In CT, some Facebook groups in CT do NOT let you know about these valuable resources. Be ware of any pet tracker fee based service that cold calls you. Reputable pet detectives/trackers do NOT cold call anyone.
Beware of any group that creates a Facebook Group for your missing pet and does NOT add you as an Administrator. We have found that such groups often block helpful people and groups and do not allow people to post the resources listed here. Such tactics are harmful to the search for your missing pet.

They also have a policy that no one is to solicit business from the people who post to the site or advertise a paid business on the site.
