1. How do I add my lost pet’s name and description to the database?

If you've lost your pet and you want to add it's name and description—along with your own contact information—to CanadaStrays.com, you can do so by filling in three (3) short forms, online. Once completed, this information will be made available immediately for visitors to see. It's always a good idea to check the list of lost or stray pets first, to make sure the animal's information hasn't already been added by someone who may have found your pet.

2. How long will my pet’s ad stay on CanadaStrays.com?

Any information you post to this Web site will be displayed for a 1-year period (365 days) only, or until you choose to delete it.

If you wish to remove an ad, you need to enter your e-mail address on the Remove Pet from List page, where you will then receive an e-mail with a link to delete your entry. CanadaStrays.com uses this “delete by e-mail” method in order to prevent any malicious deletion of your animal's information by a third party.

4. How do I add—or replace—a picture of my pet to its listing on CanadaStrays.com?

If you wish to add a picture of your pet or stray, or replace an existing one, send your image to webmaster@canadastrays.com along with your pet's ID number, which can be found on its listing.

If you only have a hard copy photograph of your pet and would like us to scan this to obtain an electronic version, you can mail the photo, making sure to include the CanadaStrays.com ID number for the animal, to:

Webmaster
CanadaStrays.com (put animal's CanadaStrays.com ID number here!)
155 Dalhousie St., Suite 651
Toronto, Ontario  M5B 2P7

Please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you wish the photo to be returned.

5. I found a stray animal. What can I do?

If you've found a stray, you can add it's name, description, and your own contact information to the CanadaStrays.com database. Hopefully, the animal's owner will see this information and will then know how to contact you. It's always a good idea to check the list of lost or stray pets first, to make sure the animal's information hasn't already been added by its owner.

6. I need to find a new home for my pet! Can I add its information to the database?

8. How do I remove an animal's information from this site?

You need to enter your e-mail address (the one you used when adding its information to the database) on this page, where you will then receive an e-mail with a link to delete your entry. If the link is not clickable in the e-mail, you must copy-and-paste the whole link into your Web browser's address bar at the top. You'll then be taken back to CanadaStrays.com where you should receive a message informing you that the deletion was successful.

If you still have trouble deleting the information, e-mail the Webmaster with an explanation of the problem, along with the CanadaStrays.com ID number for the pet or stray (this can be found in the listings).

9. What other resources, apart from this site, are available to me if I've lost my pet?

10. Can I sell animals on this Web site?

Under no circumstances will you be allowed to sell animals on this Web site. CanadaStrays.com reserves the right to delete listings deemed to be for the purpose of making profit on the sale of kittens, puppies and/or any other type of animal.

11. How can I edit my pet's information?

Every time a pet's information is added to CanadaStrays.com, an automated confirmation message is sent to the e-mail address you supplied when posting the ad. In this message you'll find a link, which can be used to edit the information about your pet, or stray.

If you didn't receive a confirmation e-mail, or have accidently deleted it from your computer, please contact the Webmaster with the e-mail address you used when posting your ad. It's possible that the e-mail address you entered was misspelled and, therefore, never reached the intended recipient.
