We know how heartbreaking it is to lose a pet, and we’re here to help. If you don’t see your pet listed in one of our shelters, check 24PetConnect.com, a database of lost pets from multiple shelters and individual finders.
Animal welfare organizations in our community are reporting an increase in scams related to missing pets. If you receive a phone call related to your lost pet, please know we will never request payment over the phone or digital payment platforms such as Venmo, PayPal, Cashapp, etc. to return a missing pet.
We do not ask for verification codes or reach out about lost pets on social media.
If you believe you have received a suspicious call, do not share your personal information. Instead, hang up and call us directly at 303.751.5772 – do not redial – or visit the Pet Admissions office at one of our animal centers to verify any claims with a staff member.
