Lost a Pet?
Losing an animal can be one of the most stressful moments in a pet owner's life. San Diego Humane Society is here to help! The following resources can improve your chances of finding your pet.
Search our Found Animals Database.
If you find your pet in our database, follow the process to reclaim your animal.
Looking for a community cat? When community cats – outdoor cats with no identifiable signs of ownership — are brought to our shelters, we spay/neuter, vaccinate and quickly return them to their outdoor homes. If you’ve noticed that a community cat is missing from your neighborhood, keep an eye out as they may be returned in a day or two. If they return with a tipped ear, it’s a signal they’ve been spayed/neutered! Learn more about our Community Cat Program here.
Submit a Lost Pet Report.
If you have lost your pet, please let us know so we can help! The information you provide will be posted to our Lost Animals Database, which is searchable for members of the community who may have found your animal.
Additional ResourcesCheck your neighborhood. Eighty percent of lost pets are found within a mile of home, so check your local area and speak with neighbors. Use online resources. Post about your lost pet on social media, and search neighborhood apps and websites like Nextdoor, Petco Love Lost and Pawboost. Create a Lost Pet flyer. Use this template to create a flyer and post it at local coffee shops, dog parks, pet stores, veterinary offices and other businesses. |
