Here are the steps to take to find the owner or your lost pet. Do what applies to your situation. : Put a sign in your yard that says lost or found pup. Please have pup scanned for chip at a vet or 24/7 Emergency animal clinic. (Petco and Petsmart are not good choices as they may not carry a universal scanner and may miss picking up a chip.) Make sure pup is secured first with leash and collar so it can't bolt when taking for a scan. It's free and you shouldn't need an appt. Call ahead of time to see if they have a "universal" scanner. If no chip is found or owner cannot be reached from chip info please call MCACC to report found dog (or lost dog) at 602 372 4598 so it can be added to their lost/found map in case owner is searching on that site. If pup was found in another county please contact that county to report as found. If location found is not in top of post please be sure to add city and major cross streets so post can be shared.

If you can't catch the pup, contact Hartt for help: https://azhartt.org/ Be sure to verify proof of ownership before handing over to anyone, unfortunately there are people who search these sites who will try to claim as their own without proof looking for a free pet, will ask to adopt before owner is found or may offer to foster without connections to a rescue. They may be looking to harm the pup. I hope these resources help and work. Please update your post if owner or lost pet is found. Thanks!
