Become a Pet Detective

This seems like an interesting organization. I have never heard of them. I wonder how successful they are?

Missing Pet Partnership

he failure to provide lost pet services is a major contributing factor to the stray dog population, the feral cat population, and the overcrowding of animal shelters. Every pet dog and cat that is displaced from the care of its owner/guardian is a "stray" that ultimately contributes to the homeless pet (stray dog and feral cat) populations.

We will achieve our mission through training, education, and partnerships with animal shelters, animal welfare organizations, veterinarians, and pet detectives. We train and empower professional pet detectives (Missing Animal Response Technicians), volunteer pet detectives (Lost Pet First Responders), and MAR search dogs who conduct CSI-like investigative searches that bring lost dogs, cats, and other companion animals back home.

Further, Missing Pet Partnership will conduct scientific studies into lost pet behavior which will better enable us to predict the distances that lost pets travel, reunite lost pets with their owners/guardians before they have a chance to end up in shelters, and reduce the euthanasia rates of stray dogs and cats in our nation's animal shelters.
