How do I find my lost pet?

From home you can:

1. Look at photos of Stray pets that are in the Shelter.
2. File a Lost report with Petco love lost so the public can contact you if they think they’ve found your pet.
3. Check Facebook – Thurston County has several Lost & Found pages
4. Check Craig’s List and Nextdoor for found reports and place a lost report.
5. Put up posters, including a photo, in the area where the pet was lost.

We recommend you check shelter listings at least every two days! By law, stray animals that are not claimed by their owners may be made available for adoption after being held in the shelter for 48 hours.

What if someone doesn’t have online access:

1. Pictures and information about stray animals that have come into the shelter are posted in the front window at Animal Services.  Stop by the shelter to view those postings.
2. Listen to the Shelter’s Lost Pet Hotline at (360) 352-2510, option 5. The hotline is a brief description of all the stray animals that have come into the shelter. If a pet sounds like it may the missing pet, come to Animal Services during business hours to view the animal or call us at (360) 352-2510 to get more information.
3. Put up posters, including a photo, in the area where the pet was lost.

Please note that shelter staff are not able to check Lost and Found reports, or to identify animals over the phone. It is the owner’s responsibility to identify their own pet in person.

I found a pet…now what do I do?

If you have found a stray animal, he/she should be taken to the shelter closest to the location where the animal was found. This will increase the likelihood that the animal will be reunited with his/her family and safely returned home.

We provide service for Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and unincorporated Thurston County. If the pet was found somewhere else, we cannot take it, please contact the animal shelter in the city/county it was found. If the animal is from our service area, you have several options:

If you wish to keep the pet while you are looking for the owner, please file a Found report with Petco love lost. The found reports will need information such as the breed of the animal, when and where you found it, and your contact information. Please schedule a time to bring the pet to the Shelter or a local veterinary clinic to be scanned for an identification microchip.
