Web Site Focuses on Returning Missing Pets
WASHINGTON — People who want to advertise missing or found cats and dogs can use a new animal care site placed on the World Wide Web by the Agriculture Department’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
It wasn’t a congressional mandate, but rather a public service idea from the agency’s home page designer, veterinarian Jerry DePoyster. The page can display pictures scanned from ordinary photographs. The lost and found animals are listed by state.
The site will also help researchers make sure they do not receive lost or stolen animals, DePoyster said.
The Web address is: https://www.aphis.usda.gov:80/reac.
