happening in the neigborhood than adults. (Kids can make your flyers easily by clicking on www.kindnews.org then click on "flyer maker" in the lower
left hand corner.) Include the following information on your flyer: breed, sex, size of animal,length of hair, wearing a collar? what color?, fur color,
where was the pet lost/found,your contact information - phone number, email. Include a picture of the pet if possible.
