Found a Lost Animal?
If you find a pet that has been displaced, likely due to Tropical Storm Debby, here's what to do according to Charleston Police Department Animal Control:
1- Check for ID: Such as a collar or tag that may have the owner's information.
2 - Scan for a microchip: Take the pet to your local animal shelter to have them scanned. West Ashely Vet Clinic can scan for a microchip but we are unable to house lost pets. If the microchip is not registered, or the owner is unreachable, then you will need to contact Animal Control.
2- Report to Animal Control: If you can't immediately locate the owner, report the found animal by phone at 843-743-7200 or online at 911helpme.com. Follow the instructions that the officer gives you regarding the pet.
