If You Have Found a Pet

We encourage Good Samaritans who find safe-to-handle stray animals to first attempt to locate the owner using the methods given below:

If you are unable to locate an owner right away, you can bring the animal to the shelter or choose to foster the pet in your home while continuing to search for the owner. If you foster the animal, post a picture and description to the social media sites listed above and sign up for daily emails matches for the animal you found. This will also allow you to upload a description and photo of the animal you found to help the owner locate their pet. Contact customer service at 343-8122 if you need assistance with this process. If you select “Do NOT share my information with​ any shelter", the information you enter will not be uploaded to our database which will mean potential owners can not see the photo and description you uploaded.

If you've found an animal when the shelter is closed, you can place him/her in the night drop kennels located around the back of the building. Please complete the ​appropriate paperwork so we know where the animal was found.

AACC Hours: M - F, 11 am - 7 pm and S - S 10 am - 6 pm.
