Three Retrievers Lost Pet Rescue can help find your missing cat or dog.
I apologize that we haven’t been able to keep up with all the requests. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to respond to everyone who contacts us. I am always trying to catch up. Please visit our newsletter for the latest news and helpful advice.
ONLINE TRAINING:
Beginning in August of 2024, Three Retrievers will start an 8 week online course about Lost Pet Rescue. This is not intended for people who are currently missing a dog or a cat. This course will show you how to help lost cats and dogs, including assisting stray dogs with no known owner. We will cover such topics as Humane Traps, lost pet behavior, Calming Signals, finding and processing evidence, and training search dogs. The course is based on the Lost Pet Rescue Handbook, available through our newsletter. Please look at the table of contents of the book for an idea of what will be covered. The fee for the course is $350. If you may be interested in taking the online course, please email [email protected].
SCAM ALERT! There are people on social media who may contact you saying they will help you find your dog, and they ask for payment up front. They will send you a link to this web page and say they are affiliated with Three Retrievers. We only offer search dog services in Western Washington. Be especially cautious if someone contacts you from a number that is not in the 206 area code. We do work with a few local organizations. If the person contacting you seems suspicious, please send an email to [email protected].
Three Retrievers offers a scent trailing dog, Tino, to search for lost dogs. Currently, the cat-detection dog, Mu, is available to search for cats. The fee for either search dog is $350, and a typical search lasts about 3 hours. I can also help with a phone consultation, which usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, and costs $35. Please fill out the contact form for assistance.
I would like to help everyone with a lost pet, but we receive more than 800 requests every year. When we get many requests in a day, it can be difficult to respond to everyone. Sometimes we can respond quickly, but some requests might not receive any response. I apologize in advance if we weren’t able to help you. It would really help me to assist as many people as possible if you would fill out the contact form and not call the phone number.

With experience finding thousands of missing pets, we can provide advice, direction, search dogs, and equipment rental to increase your chances of finding your pet. Data collected since 2008 suggests you have at least a 70% chance of finding your lost cat or dog when you take the right approach. We can help you avoid common mistakes that might hurt your chances. Please fill out the contact form (preferred) or call 206-552-0304 for help. I try to help each person as soon as possible, but during periods of high demand, it may take a day or more to respond to you.
This page contains a wealth of information about finding lost cats and dogs, and many people probably don't see all of the information because they are in a hurry, and also because it isn't organized as well as it could be. Try using the search box to look up a particular topic, such as Calming Signals, and you will probably find an article on the topic of your choice. Some day, I will try to create links to everything so that you can find the information you need in the shortest time.
Please subscribe to our newsletter. Subscribers will receive priority response over non-subscribers, depending on other factors and considerations. Also, paid subscribers will receive two free consultations, if needed.
