If you’ve lost your pet:
First Steps
- Start searching immediately.
- Post and search for your lost pet on Nextdoor.com, SCAS’s Lost & Found page, and Craigslist in the Community section under Lost & Found and Pets.
- Check surrounding animal shelters here. Some well-meaning people may pick up your pet and take it to the closest shelter, which may not be Humane Society of Sonoma County!
- Create and distribute flyers and post signs in high traffic areas.
- Distribute flyers in vet clinics, pet stores, groomers, pet boarding facilities and other local businesses, with permission from each establishment.
- Don’t give up too quickly. Some lost pets are found within hours or days and others are found months or even years after disappearing. Don’t give up hope!

If you have lost your pet just click the “I lost a pet” button on their site to upload a photo of your pet and report them as “Lost”. You can check Petco Love Lost as often as needed until your pet is found.
