**We apologize that we do NOT have the capability to travel outside of Summit County, due to our limited volunteers and resources being in Summit. We happily share our search protocols to people outside of Summit. Please follow our search protocols that we have listed in detail on our Lost A Pet tab at www.lostpetrescue.org/lost-pet
**Due to the high volume of lost reports we receive, we may have limited number of volunteers and resources, and may not be able to assist on every search.
**It is SO important that the owners partner with us and are highly involved in the rescue mission.
