Most lost pets in Oakhaven are reunited within 48 hours when owners act fast. Here's exactly what to do, in order.
Report online or by phone at (555) 010-7300. Include a photo, the cross streets where your pet was last seen, and any collar or tag details. Reports stay active for 30 days.
Descriptions can miss; owners rarely do. Visit the shelter in person within 24 hours and every few days after - new strays arrive daily.
Every animal brought to the shelter is photographed and posted within the hour, searchable by species, color, and the area found.
Post in neighborhood groups and put your pet's bed or an unwashed shirt outside - familiar scents bring many cats home on their own.
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Healthy, friendly dog | Check for tags and call the number first. No tags? Bring it to the shelter any time during open hours, or file a found report and foster it while we search - we'll supply food. |
| Healthy cat, unbothered | Most outdoor cats aren't lost. If it's well-fed and calm, leave it be and post a photo to the found list. Bring it in only if it seems sick, injured, or is a young kitten alone. |
| Injured or sick animal | Call (555) 010-7300, option 1, any hour. A field officer responds to injured-animal calls seven days a week. |
| Wildlife | We don't handle wildlife - the state wildlife rehabilitation line is the right call, and hands off in the meantime. |
