Lost/Found

​​​​Time is essential when trying to find your lost pet, especially if your pet is not wearing a Broward County Rabies Registration Tag or has no tattoo or microchip containing identification information. Broward County Animal Care is required to hold lost pets with identification for five (5) days (not including holidays and when the shelter is closed) and animals without identification for three (3) days, hoping that they can be reunited with their owners.

Animal Care recommends you immediately take these three steps to maximize your chances of reuniting with your pet. Report a lost pet and view found pets on:

  1. Petco Love Lost​
  2. 24Petconnect: Lost, Found, and Adoptable Animals​​​

Frequently Asked Questions​

Reporting a Found Pet

​​If you find a lost dog or cat, there are many ways you can help reunite the pet with its owner:

  1. Contact the owner listed on the ID tag.
  2. Have the pet scanned for a microchip at a local veterinary clinic.
  3. Contact Broward County Animal Care by calling 954-359-1313 or email ACADFoundPets@broward.org​ for pets with a Broward County Registration Tag, tattoo, or microchip.
