LOST AND FOUND ANIMALS
Q: What do I do if I find a stray dog or cat?
- Many pets that might not be in their own yard are not truly homeless so should be left alone as they will go back home. Of course, we understand helping a pet truly in danger but best to leave the Animal Control business to Animal Control Officers. Where you live determines whether to call your city’s Police Department (if inside a city limits) or the Elmore County Sheriff’s Dispatch. These numbers can be found on our website at http://www.elmorehumane.org/animal-control-contacts.html . Or, for a quick reference, these are the numbers to call and all are area code 334: If you live inside the city limits of Wetumpka, Elmore or Coosada, or you live in the unincorporated areas of Elmore County, call 334-567-5227. If you are in Millbrook call 285-6832. If in Tallassee (on either side of the river as long as inside city limits) call 283-6571. And if in Eclectic call 541-2419.
- If you find a pet, we ask that, if at all possible AND you can do so safely, that you keep that pet and do the networking to hopefully get it reunited with an owner so it does not have to come to our Shelter.
- If it has a Rabies tag please call the Vet on the tag to see if the owner can be identified or call our Shelter (334-567-3377) so we can assist. Any pet in our area with a Tuskegee Tag may very well be an adopted pet and we can look in our records to perhaps identify the owner.
- Yes, we can scan a found pet for a microchip as will most Veterinarians. Just give us a call and we will come outside to scan that pet.
- Please call us so we can do a FOUND Report and if you have lost your pet please also call us so we can do a LOST Report – don’t wait, call us soonest (334-567-3377)
- Post the lost or found pet (with photos if at all possible) to Elmore County Alabama Lost & Found Pets Group Facebook page. Please post a phone number you can be contacted at as well. Post to neighborhood pages, neighborhood apps, etc. The more you post the greater the likelihood of finding the owner.
- You can also contact us via email at hselco@bellsouth.net or message us on our Lost & Found Pets in Elmore County Alabama Facebook page.
- If you are absolutely unable to keep a found pet, call us at 334-567-3377 to set up an INTAKE Appointment.
