How to create a missing pet poster?

A good poster has a colour photo, exact disappearance location and date, clear description, and phone number. Prepare it within 30–60 minutes of disappearance and spread it in both physical and digital channels. You can generate a free poster with QR in the search centre.

Preparing a missing pet poster

What to include on the poster?

  • Clear photo – face and body.
  • Name (if you want neighbours to call it).
  • Exact disappearance location – not just the city name.
  • Date and approximate time.
  • Phone number and, if possible, a second contact.
  • Note: "Do not shout loudly – may be hiding".

Physical poster and QR code

The poster must be readable from a distance – large letters, contrast. A QR code lets passers-by quickly open more information on their phone.

Use the free poster generator in the search centre – upload a photo, fill in the fields, and print A4 or share the digital file.

Where to post?

  • Local Facebook groups ("Missing dog", neighbourhood communities).
  • Notice boards near shops and bus stops.
  • Veterinary clinics and shelters.
  • Neighbours directly – not only online.
  • Platforms like globok.lt.

What to avoid on the poster?

  • Too vague location ("city" without district).
  • No photo or phone number.
  • Too much text – key info must be visible from 3 m.
  • Old poster without update – add the date.

Frequently asked questions

What photo should I use on the poster?
A clear, colour photo from close range – face and body visible. Avoid dark or blurry shots. If you have one – use a photo where the animal is recognisable from a distance.
Should I offer a reward for finding?
That is a personal decision. More important – a clear phone number, location, and description. A reward sometimes attracts inaccurate attention – worth considering.
Where should I post posters?
Shops, bus stops, stairwells, park entrances, veterinary clinics. In digital channels – local Facebook groups and neighbour communities.
