Lost & Found

As part of our mission, the Placer SPCA helps to reunite lost pets with their owners.  You can view a list of stray animals received at our center within the last five days on the Found Animals page, with information about the location where they were found.

To help expedite the process of reuniting you and your pet, the Placer SPCA encourages you to follow these steps:

Step 1: Please come to the center during our normal business hours to see if your companion animal friend is here.  If possible, it is always best to bring a current picture of your pet with you. And please make sure to check back every few days as we unfortunately receive lost animals daily. Hopefully, this is all it will take for you to reunite with your lost companion animal.

Step 2: The Placer SPCA helps to reunite lost pets with their owners by keeping a record of lost pet reports which are available to the public. You can download a Dog or Cat form which you can fill out and mail, fax or email to us. If you would like to include a picture as well, please do so.  The Placer SPCA will keep this information in our Lost and Found book at the front counter.

Step 3: Keep in touch with us, and let us know when you have been reunited with your companion animal so we can keep our records up to date!  Once you have been reunited with your lost companion animal friend, bring him or her to the Placer SPCA during business hours to have a microchip implanted, or ask your veterinarian about microchips.

Other helpful tips in enhancing the search for your lost pet:

  • Post pictures around the area in which your pet was lost.  You may even want to check with local veterinarians, as some display lost and found books in their lobbies for clients.

  • Contact the animal control agency in the city/county your animal was lost.

  • Check other area shelters (especially if the pet was lost near a city/county border)

  • Place an ad in a local newspaper and make sure to check the local newspaper for listings of found pets. Check the online edition of your paper as well. Gold Country Media Classifieds
    Sacramento Bee Found classifieds
    .

  • Check online lost and found listings through Craigslist and PetFinder's classified ads. Post your own Lost notice on these websites, including a photo of your pet if possible and the general location where he was lost. Use caution when providing any personal contact information, including your home address, to anyone who may contact you.

We wish you the best of luck in this difficult time, and if there is anything else we can do, please let us know!

If you have found a pet, please:

  1. Take the pet to a local veterinarian or animal shelter so they can be scanned for a microchip. Hopefully, this is all it will take for the pet to be reunited with its owner!

  2. If no microchip or id tag provides owner information, please contact your local animal shelter(s) and provide them information on the pet you found.  It is helpful to provide as much information on identifiable traits such as breed, sex, color of collar, special markings, approximate weight, etc. You may want to come to the Placer SPCA to check our Lost and Found book, to see if the pet's owner has submitted a Lost form. Please complete a Found Cat or Found Dog Information Sheet and submit it to us with a photo if possible.

  3. Post found listings in local newspapers or online databases, such as Craigslist or PetFinder

  4. Post flyers around the area in which the pet was found with the date you found the animal.

  5. Before reuniting the pet with its “owner,” don’t be afraid to ask the “owner” to provide a description of the animal and a name to see if the pet responds.
