If Your Pet Is Lost
1.
Don't panic. If your pet has a license or microchip, you have a
very good chance of being reunited.
2. Call our shelter at
253-841-5595. If your pet was lost outside one of our cities, call
that location's animal control. Remember, your pet can get far on
foot and doesn't know city limits!
Here are a few of our neighbors:
Pierce County: 253-798-PETS (7387)
Tacoma: 253-627-PETS (7387)
Lakewood: 253-983-7800
University Place: 253-798-3133
Seattle: 206-386-7387
King County, Kent (serving Auburn
and Black Diamond):
206-296-7387
Federal Way:
253-835-PETS
Humane Society of Tacoma Pierce County:
253-383-2733
Seattle Humane Society:
(425) 641-0080
You may want to also call local vets!
3. After
calling, you can try the following:
-
Search a 20-block area around the site
where your pet was lost.
-
Call your pet's name loud and often.
Be sure to listen afterward for a bark or meow or any indication
that your pet is trapped somewhere.
-
Descriptions can be hard to tell with
pets--you may want to visit our shelter or neighboring shelters to
make sure in person that your pet is not there. See above for links
to the websites of neighboring shelters.
If You Have Found a Pet

where it is heading. Be careful about approaching strange animals
yourself.
If You Have Found a Wild Animal
Call our shelter at 253-299-PETS or 911. Do not approach wild
animals and keep all children and pets safely away from them.
