We know we say it all the time, but it's so important: The simple act of putting a collar and tag on your dog can make the difference between them making it home or ending up in the shelter. Pictured are just a few of the 100+ lost dogs who have come into PACC over the last few days without a collar and tag or a properly registered microchip. Had these pets had their ID, they would likely be home now. 🐾
Three ways to help:
💙 If you or someone you know has lost a pet, please remind them to upload their photo to lost.petcolove.org and to keep checking back at PACC! Reclaim fees are WAIVED in most instances; we WANT you to have your pet at home, not in the shelter! 🐶
💙 If you find a healthy, friendly stray pet, PLEASE attempt to reunite them with their owner. These dogs have a much higher chance of getting home, which is better for both them and the hundreds of dogs already in the overcrowded shelter, if kept in their neighborhood. Tools like lost.petcolove.org's image recognition technology, flyers, social media, and just walking the dog around the neighborhood CAN and DO get pets home!
💙 Put a collar and tag on your dog! Don't have one? ANYONE who needs one can get a FREE custom ID tag at PACC any time we're open, and our Central Pet store sells collars for less than $10. This simple step can quite literally save lives.
All animals pictured are on a stray wait. They MAY be available for reservation in the event their owner does not reclaim them. If interested in reserving, please come to PACC. We're open from noon to 7 p.m. today.
