Lost and Found Protocols
The shelter manages several protocols for lost or found animals. Residents with a missing animal are encouraged to fill out a specific form so the shelter can contact them if an animal is located. If someone finds a lost or abandoned pet during normal business hours, they can contact the shelter or Public Safety Dispatch.
Guidance for Found Kittens
In cases involving kittens found outdoors, the shelter suggests leaving them alone to see if the mother returns, though they should be brought to the shelter if their health appears to be in danger.
