Here's What You Can Do to Help Reunite Them with Their Family

Follow these simple steps to help reunite the pet with their rightful owner.

Bring Them To A Safe and Quiet Place

Ensure the pet is in a secure location to prevent them from wandering into traffic or getting into further danger.

Check For Identification

Have the animal scanned for a microchip at a local vet office, Petco store, county shelter or even our location.

Contact Local Shelters and Vets

Many lost pets are brought to local shelters. Contact them to report the found pet and leave a description, or visit in person to check if anyone has reported a missing pet.

Post on Social Media and Lost Pet Websites

Post clear photos and a description of the pet on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and local community groups. Be sure to include where the pet was found, any identifying marks, and contact information.

Keep the Pet Safe While You Wait

If you’re unable to bring the pet indoors, make sure they are in a safe, weatherproof area with protection from the elements. Until the owner is found, keep the pet under close supervision.

Be Patient

Owners may be searching. It might take some time for the pet’s owner to see your posts or hear about the found pet, so be patient and continue your efforts to help them return home.
