Our shelters will be closed on Saturday, July 4 for the holiday, and will reopen for normal business hours on Sunday, July 5. If you find a stray pet over the holiday, you have a few options, including:

If you can keep the animal in your home for a few hours, or longer:

• We urge everyone to try to locate the owner via your local Nextdoor app or other social media platforms. Most animals are found in close proximity to where they live. This is a great way to quickly help the animal get back to their family. For information and tools to reunite a pet with their owner, click here.  
• If you cannot find the owner, keep the pet safe overnight and bring them to us on July 5. You’ll want to isolate the animal from your pets while in your care. Our normal business hours can be found here. 
• If you are in a position to keep the animal in your home while searching for the family, please consider doing so. Visit our lost and found page for tips on searching for an owner, and notify us by email at [email protected] to file a report so we can assist you with reuniting the pet with their family.

Options to immediately relinquish the animal:

• If you are unsuccessful in reuniting the pet with their owner, and cannot keep the animal overnight, call your local law enforcement agency and they will contact our on-call Humane Officers to assist you.
• If you need to report an animal emergency, please contact your local law enforcement agency.

If you find an injured or ill wild animal, please bring them to Project Wildlife’s after-hours drop-off for care. Before capturing a wild animal, please review this information to ensure intervention is needed.
