New program launched to reunite lost pets with owners

During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the launch of the Friendly Finder program aimed at assisting individuals who discover lost pets. The initiative encourages community members to take proactive steps within the first 48 hours of finding a pet to locate its owner.

Participants were informed about the \"Take 48\" grant, which provides guidance on effective measures to reunite lost pets with their families. The program emphasizes the importance of immediate action and offers resources through the website poultonanimalservices.com.

Additionally, attendees learned about a new text messaging service designed to streamline the process for those who find pets. By sending a specific keyword to a designated number, individuals can receive crucial information regarding Fulton County Animal Services and the appropriate next steps to take. This initiative aims to enhance community engagement and improve the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners.
