Reporting Lost/Found Pets
The most effective way to reunite lost and found pets with their owners is through the national database called Petco Love Lost. This database uses facial recognition to compare pets who are in shelters, and found in the community with pets that are missing. Follow these buttons to get started.
Click the buttons below to view the pets that are currently serving "stray holds" (3 day waiting period) at our facilities. These pets are not currently available for adoption, but will be evaluated and processed for adoption if they are not reclaimed.
Other Tips
-
Have the pet scanned for a microchip at vet offices, Prairie Paws or by an Animal Control Officer.
