This website has lots of suggestions. I can not encourage you enough to go to every shelter in your area and fill out a lost pet form. Bring a current photo. While you're there, check every cage (even in the dog area). Check the infirmary also. Then, go back every single day and check again.

Sadly, we learned that the shelter volunteers don't always have time to check their database. You must take this on yourself.

Our Kuhio was put to sleep the day AFTER we were there searching for her. They had her in the infirmary. A room that they didn't even tell us about. They didn't bother to search their database or they would have surely figured out that both a lost cat and found cat entry was in there -- 2 houses apart from each other. Kuhio paid the ultimate price for us trusting the volunteers there.

Also, as awful as it will be, you must check their DOA file.

Good luck!
