What to do if your pet gets lost

You must personally come to the shelter during normal business hours to look for your lost pet. We cannot guarantee that the front desk staff or volunteers who are answering the telephone are aware of every animal in the shelter. 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.

• Make posters. Include your pet's description and photo, your phone number, and any reward information. Use permanent markers that will not wash off in the rain.
   
• Ask permission to hang your posters in stores, your school, town hall, veterinary offices, and elsewhere in your community. Check them every few days to make sure they're still in good shape.
   
• Ask veterinarians to notify you if someone brings in a new pet who looks like yours.
   
• Talk to your friends, neighbors, and mail carrier. Ask them to be on the lookout for your pet.
   
• Call local radio stations and newspapers to see if they run lost pet announcements.

Good luck! We hope you and your pet are together again soon.
