Lost / Found Information

Lost Dog

If you have lost a dog please contact our office immediately at 419-334-2372. We are often the most likely agency to find or hear about your dog.

Ask to fill out a lost dog report in person or over the phone in case we receive a call regarding your dog. Do not soley rely on the lost report, continue to check in person at the shelter for your dog. The shelter is often unable to match dogs with lost reports due to each individual's opinion regarding breed, color and other reported information.

In addition, you may contact your local police or Sheriff's office in the event someone has contacted them with information.

It is also advisable to post flyers with the dog's picture, description, date lost, area lost, and your contact information at veterinary clinics, pet stores, groomers, boarding kennels, grocery stores, and post offices. Submit an ad in local newspapers as well.

If you live close to another county contact their dog shelter as well. Dog Warden Directory
