Lost & Found
My pet is lost. What should I do?
| |
- Act fast!
- Search the area where your pet was lost and let neighbors know your pet is missing.
- Call your local law enforcement (see table below) to verify where a found pet is taken in your area.*
- Visit the Humane Society of Weld County every 1-2 days, including weekends. We cannot identify your pet over the phone; as you are the only one who can positively identify your pet.**
- Consider placing an ad in the Greeley Tribune; lost and found ads are free for one week. Don't forget to check the daily found ads for possible matches.
- Post and scan through community Web sites such as craigslist.com.
- Post signs nearby and on our lost and found board in the shelter lobby.
|
*Please keep in mind that even if your local law enforcement does not contract with the Humane Society of Weld County there is still a chance that your pet could be at the shelter or someone may have called the shelter to inform us of a found animal.
**Please bring a photo of the pet, if you have one. Fill out our “Lost Report” and do a walkthrough of the shelter. Owners will not be called unless tags or chip information is current and correct.
