Fourth of July Information

If your pet has a microchip, call the microchip company.

Inform the microchip company that your pet is missing. Make sure all your information for your pet is updated such as the phone number, address, etc.

Ask your neighbors to keep an eye out.

Let all your neighbors know your pet is missing and ask them to keep an eye out. If you have a second pet, walk the neighborhood with your other pet to search.

Pets are photographed as soon as they enter our shelter and placed on our Facebook page.
If you do not see your pet on our Facebook page, send us a message with a picture of your pet and your contact information.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE FOUND A DOG:

Check for any form of identification- collar, tag, name or phone number embroidered on the collar

Knock on Doors

Walk the dog around your neighborhood and see if any one recognizes it. Most dogs travel less than a mile away.

Post the animals on the Lost and Found Pets social medias

Facebook (Lost and Found Visalia, Lost and Found Pets (Tulare-Visalia), 559 Volunteer Animal Control)

If the dog is dangerous or injured call Animal Control at 559-713-4957. An officer may come get it, but if you are able to take a sick or injured pet to the vet yourself, that is even better. Be sure to create the found report regardless and send us photos.

Take the pet to your nearest vet clinic to check for a microchip. Be sure to call ahead.

Can you foster the dog? Visalia Animal Services would appreciate that!

Our animal shelter should be the last place to take a found animal as our shelter is designed to be a safety net for sick or injured stray animals that have no other option.
