LOST & FOUND
LOST AND FOUND
Lost your pet? Please come to the shelter to look for your lost pet. Please bring proof of rabies vaccination and spay/neuter certificate (if applicable) and a collar and leash. If the animal is not at the shelter, fill out a lost report (which will be posted to our website). Look at other shelters in the area. AFV does have an address listing of the local shelters in the area. Put up signs in the vicinity of where the pet went missing. Check with local veterinarians and groomers. Continue to come to the shelter every few days and physically look for your pet. Look on AFV’s website at www.animalfriendsofthevalleys.com to see if your animal has arrived. DO NOT GIVE UP! If you are reunited with your pet, please have the animal microchipped in the event the animal goes missing in the future.
If you have found a pet and want to hold it and try to find the owner, bring the animal to the shelter to have it scanned for a microchip. You can post a Lost or Found Report at https://animalfriendsofthevalleys.com/lost-found-reports-2/ . Or, call (951) 674-0618 Ext. 210 to file a report.
