  1. First, click the bolded "Announcements" link under the "News" tab at the top of any page. 
  2. Then click "Add an Announcement" on the right-hand side of the page.

From there, enter a title and whatever information you want about your pet. Make sure you select the "Lost and Found" category under "Column."
