CRAIG'S LIST
Expect to be spammed mercilessly for anything you post on Craig's list and watch out for scammers, like people asking for a reward or a fee to return your pet. But it's free and many people have had success with these free classifieds.

PETFINDER
This is a national site with a classified section for lost and found reports. Unfortunately, it is not possible to post photos on this site. There are also extensive listings for pets available for adoption and a comprehensive listing of shelters, humane societies and rescues for the whole of the US.  

THE CENTER FOR LOST PETS
This site was recently launched by the Humane Society of the United States. It requires users to register and then they will send emails of possible matches once you submit your report. Limited to dogs and cats. While it is certainly very convenient for the site to notify you of possible matches, we feel that there is too much potential for a match to be overlooked because of limited choice of criteria and because people often describe things differently. Still worth posting.
