TIPS ON LOCATING A LOST PET

1. NOTIFY AND CHECK LOCAL SHELTERS

The Palm Springs Animal Shelter works diligently to help reunite lost pets with their guardians. We research available identification (microchip, tags, other ID) on each stray pet and attempt to contact guardians. We also keep records of pets lost and found in Palm Springs and attempt to match pets to their guardians. As part of these efforts, we also post Lost Pet and Found Pet Reports (and photos if we have them) on our website.

Call or visit the Palm Springs Animal Shelter if your pet was lost in or very near Palm Springs and/or the Coachella Valley Animal Campus (CVAC) if lost in another Coachella Valley city. Call or visit the shelter daily as it can take several days to weeks for a pet to end up in a shelter. Looking in person is the best way to ensure you are reunited with your pet.

PSAS LOST PET REPORT

Check the Palm Springs Found Pets list (above) to see if your lost pet has already arrived at our shelter or has a Found Pet Report on file. Keep checking the list daily.

If you see your lost pet on this list:

Note the Animal Number and name we have given the pet.
Call the Palm Springs Animal Shelter and ask to speak with our intake/pet retention coordinator as the pet may not be in the shelter but instead with the finder.
If the intake/pet retention coordinator confirms the pet is in our shelter, please set up an appointment to visit our shelter during operating hours.
Bring with you proof of guardianship of the pet (pet photos, vet records, tags, microchip number, license, etc.) and your valid driver’s license or government issued ID.
Please be aware that there may be fees associated with the care provided during your pet’s stay at PSAS.

2. NOTIFY YOUR PET’S MICROCHIP COMPANY

If your pet has a microchip, contact the microchip company to make sure your pet’s registration is up-to-date with current phone numbers and contact information and file a lost report over the phone. If you are not sure of the microchip brand, contact the veterinary clinic or shelter where your pet was microchipped.

3. OTHER SUGGESTIONS

Post signs: Make the signs bold, with key words in large type. A photo of the animal is a big help. Distribute flyers door-to-door in the neighborhood where the pet was lost and post them at major intersections and along main streets. Scan the neighborhood for signs advertising a found pet, in case the one you lost is the same one.
