Lost your pet? We're here to help. Check our Facebook for updates and visit the shelter to identify your pet. Fill out our lost/found form. We're devoted to reuniting families.
Thank you for trying to locate the animal's owners before deciding to bring them to the shelter.
Did you know that 63% of lost dogs are found less than a mile from their home? 16% are less than 400 feet from their home.
Here is a list of things to do to try and locate the owners:
1. Take a photo of the pet.
A photo can be used to help find the owner, especially if shared on social media. There are lost/found groups on Facebook, as well as websites that you can share the photo and location last spotted. We also have a community tab where photos can be posted to our page.
2. If you choose to hold the pet for the length of his/her stray hold, you may notify your local shelter/vet clinics of the pet you found, and they can scan the pet for a microchip and may be able to locate the owner if they have reported the pet missing.
3. Bring flyers of the found pet to your shelter and local vet clinics, etc. with a way for the owner to contact you.
We highly encourage you to exhaust every attempt to find the owner before bringing the animal to the shelter. In 2021 alone, we took in over 300 stray dogs--of those, only 47 were returned to their rightful owners.
