Pet Tips...What to do???
	To help sick, injured or homeless animals: Call the KCHA (Kanawha-Charleston Humane Association) during business hours at (304) 342-1576 After business hours call (304) 347-0800 Any other time, contact your local Police Department, and they will contact and take appropriate action.
	If you find a lost animal: Call the Shelter and leave all the information you can and they will respond during business hours.
	If you lose an animal: It's best to visit the our shelter or shelters near you and look for your pet. If you do not find your pet, put in a missing animal report while you are there. You can make flyers and post them about 1 mile radius from point last seen; a photo may be helpful. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Above all don't give up!!!. Sometimes people find a pet and keep them for weeks before reporting them.
	To prevent your pets from being lost: Be sure to license your pet and make sure they are wearing I.D. tags and licenses. Keep in a secure yard. There is information on cat confinement measures available at the shelter.
