FOUND A DOG
1
Approach Safely
If circumstances allow, approach the animal calmly. Sit or kneel on the ground and let the dog or cat come to you at their own pace. Avoid chasing or cornering them, as this can cause fear or aggression.
2
Check for Identification
Look for a collar or tag with contact information. If you find one, call and text the listed number to let the owner know their pet has been found.
3
Scan for a Microchip
If there’s no visible ID, take the animal to a nearby veterinarian, animal shelter, or pet supply store such as PetSmart to have them scanned for a microchip.
-
If a chip is found, the facility may either contact the microchip company directly or provide you with the chip number and manufacturer.
-
If you are given the chip information, call the company to report the found animal. They will attempt to contact the registered owner.
