Happy Fourth! 🎆 Don't forget we are closing early today at 3pm 🐾

At Lost Our Home, we see it year after year. The DAY AFTER 4th of July is the busiest for shelters. Pets spooked by fireworks run off in panic, ending up lost, injured, or worse. Many never make it back home.

Remember to verify your pet's microchip information, check to ensure their collars fit snugly, use calming aids, and create a comforting space for them tonight 💙🧡

We'll be back to regular hours tomorrow! Come meet our adoptable pets like Polar, Malacath, Raya and Spade 🐶😺

❤️🤍💙HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! ❤️🤍💙

At Lost Our Home, we see it every year—the DAY AFTER the Fourth of July is the busiest day for shelters like ours. Pets spooked by fireworks run off in panic, ending up lost, injured, or worse. Many never make it back home.

We want to help you avoid heartbreak and keep your pets safe and sound this holiday.

Here are a few tips from our shelter team:

•Verify your pet’s microchip: Call your microchip company and make sure your contact info is up to date. A chip is only as good as the information attached to it.

•Check that your pet’s collar fits snugly and includes a clear, legible ID tag with your current phone number.

•Use calming aids like pheromone plug-ins, sprays, or anxiety wraps to help soothe your pet during noisy celebrations.

•Create a comforting space away from windows—somewhere quiet, with familiar bedding, toys, or even soft music to drown out the fireworks.

•Be proactive: Join local lost pet groups before the holiday so you have resources at the ready in case your pet goes missing.

As a shelter that works hard to reunite pets with families and keep them safe in the first place, we can’t stress this enough—preparation can prevent heartbreak.

Thank you ABC15 Arizona for visiting us to cover this important message!

The day after the Fourth of July is the busiest day of the year for animal shelters as they take in pets that ran away during fireworks celebrations.

June was bursting with forever homes! 🐶😺

We celebrated 75 adoptions in June! 🙌🏽

On top of that, 6 pets were reunited with their families through our Temporary Care program, and 1 more found their way home thanks to our partnership with our First Responders Program. 💙

We saw some big names take their walk out our doors...and we couldn’t be happier for them. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! 🫶🏽

If you want to help be a hero for even more shelter pets, consider adopting, fostering, volunteering and donating! Let's create happy endings for our pets and their families 🐾 Visit lostourhome.org to learn more!

💙 THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY! 💙

Because of you, our donation shelves have been overflowing lately—and our hearts are, too! Your generosity helps keep pets fed, healthy and happy, and with the families who love them. To every individual, group and organization who has helped keep us stocked, we truly couldn’t do it without you 🧡🐾

If you're looking for more ways to help Lost Our Home, consider donating to our Pet Food Bank! We provide free pet food to local families facing hardship so they don’t have to choose between feeding themselves or their best friend.

Right now, we’re running low on our food bank adult dry dog food and could also use a variety of wet/canned dog food to meet growing demand.

Can you help us restock? Drop-offs are welcome, or you can donate through our Pet Food Bank Wish List here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3B0OSI6P7BF39?ref_=wl_share 🐶
