Use this section to search our database to locate your missing companion animal, or to discover your new best friend! You don't have to be a computer hound—it's easy!

If your pet is missing you should always visit or call Animal Care and Control. Keep checking back because animals are brought to the shelter every day.

Please Note: Animals in the Lost Pets section are not available for adoption. These are someone's missing pet, and we hold them to allow them to be reunited with their owners.  If you are interested in an animal listed in the "Lost Pets" section, it may become available after their holding period.
