Make an Appointment at Your Local Shelter
If you have held the pet and not been able to find the owner, or if you are unable to hold the pet, you can consider an animal shelter. Visit the shelter's website for intake procedures. We do not advise to just show up at the shelter with the pet. Many shelter only do intake by appointment. If you find a pet after business hours and the animal is sick, injured, or posing a threat to public safety, please call 911 if it is an emergency or the non-emergency line for your local law enforcement agency.
