FAQ > Lost & Found
File a Found Report immediately. Include a photo if you can. We will need contact information for you, a thorough description of the pet you found, and details about when/where you found it.
Please bring it by the R-H SPCA so we can scan it for a microchip ID.
You can choose to keep the pet with you and wait to find the owner once you leave a Found Report with us. Generally, if no owner can be found after a reasonable effort within 30 days, chances are the pet was abandoned. However, should an owner come forward, the finder will be required to return the pet to the legal owner. It’s in the finder’s best interest to surrender the pet to us, wait out the legal stray hold, and formally adopt. Our staff can walk you through this process.
Should you choose to turn in a stray, you are welcome to also turn in an adoption application at the same time, as well as call and check on the pet during the stray hold. Finders will still need to go through the review process like any other adoption applicant.
