Found A Pet?

What to do If you have found a pet

If you have found a pet ask your veterinarian or the Humane Society to scan the pet for a microchip.

If you decide TO KEEP THE PET while trying to find the owner:

  • Notify the Humane Society (475-8930) of having found the pet and give them descriptive information on the pet and how to contact you.
  • Run an ad in the local newspaper.
  • Notify the area veterinarians.
  • Post flyers in the area giving information on the animal and how to contact you.

If you decide NOT TO KEEP THE PET and try to find the owner

  • Bring the pet to the Animal Shelter. No animal is turned away though a donation is appreciated.
  • Call Animal Control (475-6855) and request the animal be picked up.

 

(I need to check that phone number)

 

Stray animals are held for 3 days before being made available for adoption. Please be aware that though the Humane Society does its best to reunite lost pets with their owners or adopt them to new families, not all pets are adopted and there is a chance the animal will be humanely euthanized.
