I Found a Pet

ACS insignia top
 


Thank you for temporarily harboring a stray animal.  Many animals that get lost are frightened and are likely to run into traffic in their confused state.  They need Good Samaritans to help them stay safe and to ideally be reunited with their owner/guardians.  Once you find a pet you have several options to choose from.

You can bring the animal to the San José Animal Care Center at no charge.  We will make them available for immediate viewing.


If you are unable to transport the animal or feel that to do so may endanger your safety you can call us to pick-up the animal from you.


You can shelter the animal yourself and try to locate his/her family by doing the following:

*

If wearing Rabies tag, call ACS to locate owner

*

Take the pet to your local veterinarian to be scanned for a microchip

*

Place a "Pet Found" advertisement in the newspaper

*

Look under "Lost Pet" ads and see if there are any matches

*

Come to the Animal Care Center and fill out a "Found Pet" report or you may download the form now and fax it to 408-229-2323.

*

Post "Found Pet" signs around your neighborhood
