Animal Control Shelters & Lost Pet Groups/Help

ο»Ώ

Here are some excellent resources for a team member to begin checking while you are conducting the physical search. Many county shelters post found animals through platforms such as PawBoost, 24Petconnect, and Petco Love Lost, making these sites a strong starting point for an online search.


If you are aware of any shelters or rescue organizations in your area that are not listed, or of additional Facebook groups that should be included, please let me know so I can update this list. Likewise, if you come across any links here that are no longer relevant or appropriate, please let me know so they can be removed.


For convenience, a PDF with phone numbers and addresses for all listed shelters is available upon request.
