  • We build community partnerships because we know our community wants to help
  • We will work to develop a culture and community that promotes lost pet unification

What To Do If You've Lost Your Pet

Check Your Immediate Neighborhood

Most pets stay within a few blocks of their home

  • Ask your neighbors, mail carriers, delivery drivers, etc. if they have seen your pet.
  • Post fliers around your neighborhood with your pet's most current picture
  • Drive around your neighborhood within several blocks of your home to look for your pet

Microchips

If your pet is microchipped contact the microchip company. Be sure your information is current and report that your pet has been lost. 

If you're not sure if your pet's microchip has been registered, you can search the microchip number.

This number will also give you the microchip company's name so you can report your pet missing.

Websites and social media sites significantly raise the chances of getting lost pets home.

If You Think Your Pet Was Stolen

If you think there is a chance that your pet was stolen, contact the police and fill out a report. Reports are great to have on file in the chance that you find someone who has your pet and they won't give it back. Make sure that you have pictures of your pet of as many angles as possible to help prove ownership. 

The BEST proof of ownership is having your pet microchipped. If you see someone with your pet, call the police and provide them with as much evidence as possible (pictures, license plate, address) and let them handle the situation.

Check Your Local Animal Shelter

When You Find Your Pet

When you find your pet, consider having your pet microchipped as a means of permanent identification. This is a service that many veterinarians and non-profit organization offer at a low cost. 

Make sure that your pet is wearing a collar with ID tags. ID tags include rabies or license tags, microchip tags, personal ID tags, etc.

Only 5% of lost pets that are not showing some kind of ID ever get reunited with their families. Please ID your pets. It's their ticket home!  

If You Found a Pet

Most pets are found within a mile of their homes and are 85% more likely to be reunited with their family within 24 hours if kept safe in the area.

  • Don't assume the pet has been abandoned. A pet that has been lost for several days can quickly look as if it's been missing for months.
  • Talk to your neighbors
  • Post found pet flyers around the neighborhood where the pet was found
  • Check to see if the pet has a microchip. PetCo, PetSmart, Petsense and local veterinarians can scan for a microchip
  • File a found pet report with local animal shelters
  • Use social media sites listed above to post the found pet

If you find a sick or injured pet, or you are unable to keep the lost pet safe, please bring the pet to your local animal shelter or call the dispatch numbers listed above to have the pet picked up by animal control officers.
