Found a pet…
If you’ve found a lost pet, you have the following options:
Option 1 - Find the owner yourself
If the pet seems friendly and you’re comfortable interacting with it, you can bring it home and try to find the owner yourself or surrender it to the Lodi Animal Shelter. If you are uncomfortable handling the pet or unable to catch it, you can leave a loose animal report with Lodi Animal Services or one of the Facebook Groups listed below.
Option 2 - Lodi Animal Shelter
You can surrender the pet to the Lodi Animal Shelter by calling the shelter for pickup or dropping it off from Tuesday through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm. Click here for directions.
Bring the Animal to the Shelter
You can bring the animal to the Lodi Animal Shelter at no charge. The animal will be held for five days in an attempt to find the owner. After five days, the animal will be evaluated for possible adoption.
Contact Lodi Animal Control for Pick Up
If you are unable to transport the animal, you may call Lodi Animal Shelter at (209) 333-6741 during regular business hours to pick up the animal.
Try to locate the pet’s owner
You can shelter the animal and try to locate the owner :
If the pet is wearing an identification tag, contact the owner using the information on the tag.
Take the animal to a local vet or animal shelter to see if the pet has been micro-chipped. If so, the vet or shelter can provide contact information associated with the micro-chip.
