In addition, the breed may be identified differently than the one you have identified for that animal. Please bring a PHOTO and description of your pet. If you have lost an animal you are solely responsible for personally coming into the shelter and identifying the animal. You will be required to provide proof of ownership. PLEASE DO NOT SEND EMAIL MESSAGES REGARDING LOST ANIMALS. CONTACT THE SHELTER DIRECTLY EITHER IN PERSON OR BY PHONE.
