If you’ve lost your pet within Douglas County, you are welcome to Report Your Lost Pet here, or give us a call in the Pet Resource Center: 785-371-0473. Doing so will keep your pet on our radar and allow us to call you if we receive anything matching your description. 

Additionally be sure to stay tuned to our Stray Intake Facebook Page, where we post, in real-time, the animals that come into our shelter as a stray. If you identify your pet on our Facebook page, please see below how to reclaim your pet.

Remember: Don’t give up hope! Pets have been found months after getting lost. Finding a lost pet can take time. Start searching immediately and often. Animals that are lost may still be close to home, or residing with a well-meaning finder.

If your pet has a microchip, contact the microchip company right away to report them as lost, and update your contact information as needed. If you adopted your animal from Lawrence Humane, use this registry. 

Unsure of which microchip company? Visit the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) website, enter your pet’s unique chip number to find out which company it is registered with.

Don’t know your pet’s unique microchip number? Contact the facility/veterinarian who initially chipped your pet. They should keep that information on file. 

Check our Stray Intake Facebook Page to see if Lawrence Humane has your pet. Call 785-371-0473 or email our Pet Resource Center team if you see your animal.

Immediately alert your neighbors about your lost pet. This could include Nextdoor, or a Facebook group. Be sure to include a description of your pet (color, size, gender), last known location (or closest intersection), and a photo.

Once You Find Your Pet

Update Your Reports

Wherever you posted your pet as missing (posters, websites, social media) be sure to update that your pet has been found. Many volunteers and shelter staff members review lost pet reports daily, and having updated information ensures time is dedicated to animals that are still missing.

Collar & ID Tag

Make sure your pet is always wearing a collar and ID tags. Only 5% of lost pets not wearing identification ever get reunited with their owners. Inexpensive ID tags can be purchased at Lawrence Humane Society. Include your phone number and address. Don’t forget to update the microchip and tag information as your information changes!

Microchip

Having your pet microchipped is a quick, painless and easy way to ensure that if your pet gets loose, you will be contacted if they come into a shelter. You can have your pet microchipped at Lawrence Humane Society or at any veterinarian’s office.
