Owner surrenders must have an appointment. All animal intake is closed Monday.

No one wants to experience the terrible feeling of losing a treasured pet. Each year approximately 10,000 animals are placed in our care. Due to the high volume of animals we receive and the possibility of your animal being categorized as a different breed, we will not attempt to identify your pet over the phone.

Is Your Pet Lost?

For your convenience, PawBoost and Petco Love Lost offer lost and found pet searches to help reunite pets with their owners. Register or look for your lost or found pet using their sites.

PawBoost is like an AMBER Alert for lost & found pets.  

Once submitted to PawBoost, your pet will be visible on PawBoost website as well as on their official Arlington Lost Dogs, Cats & Pets Facebook page.
