If this is your pet, please print the information, bring proof of ownership
of the animal and go to the Animal Care location to redeem your pet.

Between 45-50 stray animals are dropped off at Animal Care and Control
each day from all over the county. If you have lost your pet, you should visit SNAP
to check the current listing of found animals or visit the county shelter to look for
your lost dog or cat in the stray/reclaim kennels. Pet owners are asked to visit
the shelter to complete a lost report and identify their lost pet. You may describe
your pet as a brown hound mix, Animal Care's staff may describe the same animal
as a tan shepherd mix. Stray animals are held for a limited time before they
are assessed for placement in the adoption program.
