Found Pets
If you have found an animal:
Step 1: If possible, provide a safe, secure place for the animal to be while you contact police, animal control or the shelter. Do not wait a few days to see if the animal finds its way home, as it is at risk and could be injured in an unfamiliar environment.
Step 2: Please call City or County Animal Control for assistance.
