Found Pets

If you have found a stray animal, please reference the tips below to reunite the animal with their owner. 

Check for Tags

If the pet has a tag with the owners information, contact the owner and facilitate a reunion!

Contact your local animal control shelter
If you find a stray animal, you should immediately contact your counties’ local animal control agency. Regardless of whether or not the dog has a collar, or whether or not you want to keep it, you must report the dog to animal control. The pet may have a microchip that a vet’s office or Animal Control can use to easily find the pet’s owner.
