The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley is dedicated to helping lost pets reunite with their owners.
Lost
- Visit your local Open Admission Shelter
- If your pet is microchipped, call the microchip company to make sure your contact information is up to date and alert the company that the pet is missing
- Contact Local Veterinarian Offices including the Emergency Clinics, if an animal is found injured they may be taken there instead of a shelter.
- Post flyers, especially in your neighborhood and the area the animal was lost from.
- Post a sign in your front yard and tag the window of your car with washable auto paint
- Post ads for free on PawBoost and Craigslist
Found
- Visit your local Open Admission Shelter to see if the pet has a microchip
- If you cannot keep the pet until the owner is located, the shelter will keep the animal for a period of 3-10 days in an attempt to locate the owner.
- If you decide to keep the pet until owners are found, you must make attempts to find the owners and have the animal for a period of 10 days before deciding to keep the pet or rehome the pet.
- Many shelters have a Lost & Found log, contact shelters in your area to make a listing for the animal.
- Post flyers around the area that you found the animal
- Post ads for free on PawBoost and Craigslist
