Talk to neighbors – neighborhood kids and trash collectors cover lots of territory in your neighborhood.

Check at school playgrounds, parks, churches and restaurants – places where people gather and where there are food sources.

Make flyers and post them in the neighborhood, grocery and retail stores and vet offices. Be sure to include a photo and your phone number.
