Lost and Found Pets
If you have lost a pet, please contact the Animal Services Center as soon as possible. We strongly encourage you to search our on-line database of found pets frequently, as new animals are added there throughout the day.
Animal Services holds stray animals for a 5-day period in which we are open to the public for at least 3 of those days. Please contact us immediately if your pet is lost.
Please contact the shelter at 919-942-PETS (7387) for information regarding adoptable animals.
