Lost & Found Animal
Information If you have lost or found an animal in Lubbock, there are several steps that should be taken for the safety of the animal as well as the public.
To report a lost or found animal, contact the Lubbock Animal Shelter at 311 to file a lost or found report or submit an On-Line Service Request.
Call Lubbock Avalanche Journal at (806) 762-8844 to place a free ad pertaining to lost or found animal.
Place posters in neighborhood of lost or found animal with a description of animal, location, and phone number, of how to locate the animal. Also, the Animal Shelter offers a space for lost or found pet posters.
Many animals look identical at the Shelter and only YOU can correctly identify your pet. That is why Lubbock Animal Services encourages owners to visit the shelter and search for their pet. Lubbock Animal Shelter houses an average of 100 stray dogs and 50 cats per day.
The Animal Shelter makes every attempt to find the owner of tagged or micro chipped animals. However, the owner must have registered their current information with their vet or microchip company if we are to be successful.
Tagged animals are held for 10 business days while untagged animals are held for 3 business days. Lubbock Animal Services recognizes the following as a tagged animal:
- Personal tag with owner info
- Rabies license tag
- Microchip
- Tattoo
- Notched Ear (feral cats)
Animal owners are liable for their pet’s actions. You can prevent your animal from causing injury to someone else if it is confined to your property, or leashed and controlled as required by law. The animal’s actions must be restricted and regulated when not on the owner’s property. Failure to comply with animal control laws could result in legal action.
