Stray Animal Guide

Why Should You Report a Stray Animal?

The stray running through your neighborhood may have just escaped out of her yard or perhaps was abandoned several weeks ago.

Whether a pet has been lost for one day or three weeks makes no difference.

Stray pets suffer; they are scared and confused by their strange surroundings. They are hungry and constantly looking for food.

They also run the risk of being hit by cars, taunted or hurt by cruel people, or may come into contact with vicious or rabid animals.

Stray animals may not be vaccinated against rabies and they could bite other neighborhood animals or an unsuspecting child and pass the virus along.

Report the description of the animal and the location where you last saw it to animal control immediately. You'll be ending the pet's suffering, perhaps reuniting him with his owner, and insuring your community's safety too.
