No, all of your pets will not be taken away. In my experience if you just walk around the whole town then you will see your dog (or cat) and there will be a notification.

Hello. I have a big problem! MY PETS DISAPPEARED FROM THE FAMILY!!!!

If your pet ran away report it lost, if your pet has a collar it has a chance of being found without reporting it, to report it click on a sim, cellphone and report pet lost, you can also find it around town, a easy way to do this is by clicking square, and going to the lost pet, check if they have a specific moodlet, like one you get in a park, if they do, go to the place where the moodlet is found and search for them.

It happened to me like three times already and when you keep getting the notification that your dog is missing and to report him as missing through your phone ...press A instead of Y and it will ask you this sim is in another part of town will you like to go there and it will take you where your pet is and just click on the pet and it will say get missing pet or something like that. Hope it helped ! Smile

When you loose your pet you want to be quick finding them because I went to the central park and saw my cat on the road then a notification popped up that I didnt find my cat quick enough and then with my own eyes I saw my cat being stole and the next morning my cats ghost was in my house because the robber killed my cat! 😢😭😢 Please don't let thia happen to you!

It gives you a hint. Look at the mood lets and it will show you like, beautiful park or vile surroundings that gives you a hint as to where it is

What does filthy surroundings mean??!!!
Guest answered:

I know if your pet is independent it runs away and listen to the guy or person that says use your moodlets and how you dovthatvit you press X and go to the pet that is missing I was honestly trying everyone of these and they all work but the best is to use the moodlets!

I tried all the other tips on here and the only one that worked was this one. He instantly reappeared whenever I reset him from the mailbox.
Guest answered:

I went to the moodlets and it said something and then under it it said (from library) so I went to the library and my dog was there

Guest answered:

At about 6-8 o clock pm in sim hours, a notification will pop up saying your pet is still missing, etc. Press on on your xbox 360 controller and it will take you straight to your pet. Don't fret ;)

Guest answered:

Honestly, I think you should take them to to pet spa and get a treatment. The pet may not come right away but keep an eye on the pets moodlets. Then after some time it should have a mpptled from rhe pet spa and then quicly wiew the pet spa and your pet should be there! I lost my cat and was so worried I wouldn't find him and I did this and it worked!!

It was about 8 and I had it on warp speed using the massage method. I was so surprised to see my dog! The only problem is it costs money.
Guest said: 18th Jul 2018 | REPORT
u can use cheats to get ur money back i u want
Guest answered:

Whenever my dog runs away, I usually wait a sim day or 2 then go to the Llama and Hound bar at about midnight. He usually shows up right away

Guest answered:

If you have a save with the animal in then go back to the save and do everything right / do everything the same and do that one thing correct
Hope this helped
🙂

Guest answered:

Don't save then leave and rejoin
