The OC Lost Animal content type populates the entries on the lost animals listing page; they do not present as an individual page on their own. However, they do provide a lot of detail about animals found by the city or council. You can also indicate if the animals are available for adoption.

- Right-click in the site tree where you want to create the page. We recommend making them under the lost animals listing you've already created.
- Select Create Page, then choose the OC Lost Animal content type.
