Lost Pets
If your pet becomes lost, don't give up. How carefully you search and how persistent and resourceful you are can determine whether or not your pet will be found. Look closest to home first and ask for help. Ask everyone if they have seen your lost pet. Place ads in newspapers, offer a reward, post "lost" signs, check with local veterinarians, notify neighbors, and visit Animal Care & Control.
Animal Care and Control now offers an online database (with photos) of "found pets." While this online search is a valuable resource, in addition to this, we strongly recommend you come to the Animal Care and Control Center in person because you are the only one who can positively identify your pet. Complete a Lost Report when you're at the center. Check the Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center every other day. Check the kennels, puppy room, and the cattery, as well as the Found Book and DOA files at the front counter.
Check in at the customer service area to have a staff member escort you to the back of the shelter to view animals that have just arrived.
If you find your animal at the center, you may be subject to impound fees.
