In addition to posting on Nextdoor and Facebook groups, here are some helpful tips on locating a lost pet:

1. Notify and Check Local Shelters

File a lost pet report at the shelter:

If you see your lost pet on the found list:

• Note the Animal Number and name
• Call the Palm Springs Animal Shelter and ask to speak with our intake/pet retention coordinator
• If the intake/pet retention coordinator confirms the pet is in our shelter, please set up an appointment to visit our shelter during operating hours.
• Bring with you proof of guardianship of the pet (pet photos, vet records, tags, microchip number, license, etc.) and your valid driver’s license or government issued ID.
• Please be aware that there may be fees associated with the care provided during your pet’s stay at PSAS.

2. Notify Your Pet’s Microchip Company

If your pet has a microchip, contact the microchip company to make sure your pet’s registration is up-to-date with current phone numbers and contact information and file a lost report over the phone.

3. Other Suggestions

Post bold signs with a photo of the animal. Distribute flyers door-to-door in the neighborhood where the pet was lost and post them at major intersections and along main streets. Scan the neighborhood for “found pet” signs.
