Lost pet alert?

Question

If you lose a pet, is there a one call hotline you can call to alert pounds and research facilities to be "watching" for a pet of that description.

A few years back we had a rash of "missing" pets and there was a rumor that a research facility was buying them. Do they actually do this? And shouldn't they know that almost every pet they buy this way is going to be stolen?

It just made me wonder if they have any kind of screening or alert system to watch for stolen animals?

The website is: petfinder.org I don't know where you are and whether or not research facilities took pets from your neighborhood.
