Losing your beloved companion or finding someone else's can be harrowing. We're here for you.
If you've found someone's pet in the District, and you'd like the pet to come to the shelter to hopefully be reunited, please call the number below. You can also bring the pet to a local veterinarian or our shelter to be scanned for a microchip.
If you have lost your pet or found someone else's pet in the District and you don't want to bring it to the shelter, please fill out the report below. You should also look at the list of recently found pets and check our Facebook page. If you do NOT see your report uploaded to our Lost & Found Facebook page after 24 hours or did not receive a confirmation email, please contact us.
Note: Your personal information will be shared on our Facebook page so you can be contacted about the lost or found pet. Should someone contact you saying they found your pet with a request for anything like money or a Google verification code, please contact us immediately.
