Lost and Found

We want to do everything possible to help reunite the animals with their families. We keep a list of animals that are reported missing and those that are found in hopes of making a match. We recommend that pets be microchipped as a means of secondary identification.

To make it easier for your pets to be returned, should they get lost, be certain to keep current identification tags on them at all times.
