What To Do If You Find A Lost Pet You may find a time when you come across a lost animal, especially near a busy road. While you may naturally feel the need to rescue a lost pet, the following tips will help keep both you and the animal safe. Secure The Animal Safely And With Care If you happen to find a stray dog or cat, try to capture it if you’re able to. Make sure not to do anything reckless that would put you and/or the animal in danger. Many stray animals may be fearful of you due to stress or other factors. Treats are helpful to gain an animal’s trust and they may come to you. Use a calm and gentle voice and don’t make sudden movements. Use a leash if you have one for a dog, though a belt or a rope could work in emergency situations. Belts and ropes should not be used as a regular way to handle the animal during transport. Place the dog in a fenced yard or garage if your home is not accessible. A cat should ideally be secured in a cat carrier, but a box with air holes will work.

Post Found Pet Contact Local Animal Shelters And Animal Control Agencies If the animal shows any signs of aggression or you can’t safely secure the animal, contact local authorities. Make sure to give them an accurate description of the animal and area of where it was last seen. Check For An ID Tag If the stray animal is wearing a collar, look for an ID tag. Contact the owner if their phone number is listed and inform them that you have found their pet. Schedule a time and place to meet to reunite the pet with its owner. Post The Lost Pet On Local Online Forums And Groups If the stray animal is wearing a collar, look for an ID tag. Contact the owner if their phone number is listed and inform them that you have found their pet. Schedule a time and place to meet to reunite the pet with its owner.

The microchip contains the owner’s information and should help with reuniting the two. Transfer Custody Of The Lost Pet To Local Animal Shelter Or Animal Control If the steps above don’t prove to be successful in locating the lost pet’s owner, your next best course of action is dropping off the animal at your local shelter or animal control department. Most organizations have a stray animal hold period, though duration may vary. Use the database below to find your nearest location.
