What to Do Next
Found pets in North Las Vegas, Las Vegas, or unincorporated Clark County should be taken to The Animal Foundation (655 N. Mojave Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89101), while pets found in Henderson should be taken to Henderson Animal Care & Control (300 E. Galleria Dr., Henderson, NV 89011). These municipal shelters will place animals on a lost or stray hold to allow owners the opportunity to locate and reclaim their pets. Nevada SPCA primarily accepts owner-surrendered pets and rarely accepts lost/stray animals. Nevada SPCA is not contracted with local jurisdictions to intake lost or stray animals. Nevada SPCA is not contracted with Animal Control and does not enforce municipal animal ordinances. Please contact us at (702) 873-7722 or email info@nevadaspca.org for further assistance.
Contact Your Pet’s Microchip Company
Remember, identification can be a lifesaver for a lost pet. It’s a good idea for all your animal companions—even indoor-only pets—to always wear a collar with an ID tag that includes your name, current phone number, and any relevant contact information. If you’ve chosen to microchip your pet as a means of permanent identification, keep in mind that microchips are only as good as the information provided to the chip’s company.
Post on PawBoost
PawBoost is one of the most effective tools for reuniting lost pets with their families. It allows you to create a free lost pet alert that’s instantly shared with people, shelters, rescues, and veterinarians in your area.
When you post to PawBoost, your pet’s photo and details are distributed across social media, email alerts, and local networks—dramatically increasing the number of eyes looking for them.
Tip: Use a clear, recent photo and include identifying details like collar color, microchip status, and the last known location. Update the post regularly to keep it visible and active. The more people who know your pet is missing, the better the chances they’ll make it home.
Post on Social Media
Most communities have local “Lost Pet” Facebook pages where they will post information about missing pets. Reach out to those page administrators and see if they will share information about your pet. You can create your own Facebook page or digital card for your lost pet, and share it across your social networks—and ask friends and family to spread the word to their contacts.
