Found a Lost Pet?

If you've found a lost dog or cat, thank you for stepping in to help. Most pets are found close to their homes, so we recommend using the P.A.C.K. checklist to increase chances of a happy reunion of a pet to its PACK!  

  • POST information and pictures of the animal on Petco Love Lost (see details below).

  • ASK neighbors and local businesses if they recognize the pet. Share on social media and local lost & found pet groups.

  • CHECK for an ID tag with owner info. Visit a vet’s office, shelter, or microchip station to check for a microchip.

  • KEEP the animal safe. Provide a calm, secure space with food, water, and shelter while you search for the owner.

 

Lost Your Pet?

  • Act quickly! Search your own property. Look under furniture, porches, in garages, drainage, pipes, or other possible hiding places.

  • Make sure any microchip information is current.

  • Report your lost or found pet on Petco Love Lost with a photo to make your pet visible to finders (see details below).

  • AARF maintains a detailed list of resources and tips for helping you reunite with your pet which you can view and download HERE.
