Lost & Found

Lost Animals

We understand how scary it can be to lose your furry friend. Please call the Shelter to report your animal's information will so that we can put them on the “Lost Dog” list. You may also bring in a picture of your dog to help with identification. 

Lost dog information is posted for two weeks.

We will attempt to identify and contact you if we believe we have either found your animal or if someone has contacted us with their matching the description.

You are also encouraged to call and visit the shelter at least every three days to see if they have been brought in. If you live near other counties it is a good idea to contact those shelters to report your information. 

If you find your animal outside of our services, please call us so that we can remove it from our list.

FAQs

  • Does my dog have to wear his/her license tag? ‐
    First of all, it is the law. Also, wearing the license tag is the quickest way for your dog to be returned to you if he/she becomes lost.
  • Do you accept credit/debit cards as payment? ‐
    Yes, the Miami County Animal Shelter accepts credit/debit cards (there is a 2.7% processing fee for credit/debit cards), cash, and checks with photo identification. No starter checks, please.
  • How soon are dogs available for adoption after they arrive at the animal shelter? ‐
    Dogs wearing current license tags must be held for 14 days. Dogs without license tags must be held 3 business days. After that time period the dog may be available for adoption and they are kept for as long as it takes and we have room.
