Lost/Found Animals – What to Do if You’ve Found a Lost/Stray Dog or Cat

If you’ve found a lost/stray dog or cat, remember this: Most lost pets are found less than a mile from home.

And dogs and cats who go missing are much more likely to get back home if we take a few simple steps to help their people find them.

When lost pets are brought to shelters, the chance of them being reclaimed by their families is typically low. (The shelter might be miles away, the families might not know to check that shelter, etc.) So before bringing the animal to the shelter, first use these great tips from Best Friends Animal Society as a guide to reunite a lost pet with their family.
