If you have lost your pet you should immediately file a lost report with the MCHS. Bring in a picture if you have one available so that we can better match up your pet with the animals at the shelter. Come to the shelter at least every other day. Although we keep our eyes open, we do not have adequate staff to constantly check the kennels for pets that match your description. We can only hold strays for 6 days before we begin processing adoption applications.

For a listing of stray animals at the local shelters, please look through the link below:

Stray Animals at the Shelter

It is still necessary to fill out a lost pet report and visit the shelter to look for your pet. Additional records of found and d.o.a. (Dead on Arrival) animals are available at the shelter.

If you have found an animal, either bring it to the shelter or, if you want to keep it in your house, file a found report with us. Many animals are reunited by matching up lost reports with found reports.

Digital pictures of lost or found pets can be e-mailed to mchs@mchumane.org
