In one moment, a small hole in the fence, a gate left open, or even a thief can cause a family to lose their beloved pet. Here are a couple ways to hopefully recover your four-legged loved one.
First and most importantly,microchippingyour pet can greatly increase their chances of being returned to you. Be sure to microchip your animal and make sure you follow the proper procedures necessary.The San Antonio Humane Society offers microchip implantation and registration for only $36.50.
Second, putting up signs and flyers is a good way for people to be on the lookout and recognize your pet, should it wander past them. Pleasee-mailyour flyer or bring it to the front desk, and a SAHS staff member will happily enter it in our database. All lost pets will be featured on this page.
To reclaim your animal from the San Antonio Humane Society, there is a $55 reclaim fee and a fee of $10 per day for boarding. Every pet reclaimed will have to be microchipped at the owner’s expense if not already chipped. This fee is not included in the reclaiming fee. Please call 210-226-7461 for more information.
Petco Love Lostis a new, searchable national database that uses patented facial recognition technology to make finding lost pets quicker and easier. Beginning today, this simple-to-use tool will be easily accessible to participating animal organizations nationwide, as well as any pet parent or person who finds a lost pet. Uploaded photos of a missing dog or cat are immediately scanned to determine whether the lost pet is at a participating shelter or with a neighbor in the community.
Lost/Found Pets on stray search at the SAHS
Stray Search, what does it mean? This is indicated on their profile under “Stage”. What does “Stray Search” means? When an animal comes into our facility as a found pet, we will place a temporary hold allowing their owners an opportunity to find their loved ones. Once an animal is available for adoption, their “Stage” will be updated to “Available”. We ask that you continue to check back for updates on those pets.
Reported Lost Pets
Reported Found Pets (NOT at the SAHS, unless it says in custody)
Take the pet to the nearest veterinary clinic, animal shelter, or spay/neuter clinic to scan the pet for a microchip. Contact the pet's owner and report the pet was found. Check out Lost Dogs of Texas on Facebook to create a free flyer and post on social media. Post flyers in your neighborhood.
Community cats or strays that are tame and enjoy human companionship must have a scheduled appointment. Any cat not in a humane trap MUST be able to be handled by surgery staff to be accepted for surgery.
Post your flyers on bulletin boards in vets' offices, pet supply stores, laundromats, etc. We recommend that you also create at least five to ten large signs to post at major intersections near where the pet went missing or was found. To create your signs: Insert your printed flyer into a page protector.
The aim is to ensure that the dog is either reunited with its owner or properly cared for until the owner is found. If the owner isn't found, then the dog is considered abandoned. And for many places across Texas, that means after 3-5 days, the dog is considered yours.
If you are successful in restraining the stray animal, take them to the nearest animal shelter. If you plan to keep the animal in the event that no owner is found, notify animal control that you have the animal. Be certain to check relevant laws in your state and county.
Dogs are well known for their ability to backtrack to a beloved home — or person. Most animal behavior experts attribute their navigating ability largely to a hypersensitive sense of smell.
If you're not able to safely restrain the animal, call the local animal control agency (in rural areas, call the police). Do so whether or not the animal is injured, and whether or not they are wearing an identification tag.
Post on your personal Facebook page as well as any local lost pet pages and groups. Below are some lost pets groups for the greater Los Angeles Area. Look for groups that are dedicated to your neighborhood or region. Contact local shelters.
What are the chances of finding a lost dog after 24 hours? The good news is that 93% of dogs are found within the first 24 hours (source). This means you will likely be reunited with your furry friend soon after they go missing. However, after 24 hours, the chances drop to around 60%.
Report the stray dog to the council. All local authorities provide a dog warden service. Contact the local vet to scan for a microchip as by law all dogs should be microchipped. Contact local animal rescue centres and report the found dog.
