Lost & Found

Looking for a Lost Pet?

Although we share a helping hand, it remains the owner's responsibility to conduct the search for their lost pet. We have listed out some helpful suggestions to find your pet:

Search Lost & Found Pets
  • Stay in touch with the shelter every two to three days. All the stray animals are held for a minimum of five days. Since you are the one that can correctly identify your pet, it's best if you come in person.
  • Check our website often. We attempt to photograph any animal entering the shelter and then publish under found animals. You can check adoptable animals if your pet has been missing for more than four days.
  • Fill out a lost report before you come to us. You may find Lost dog and lost cat reports at the bottom of the page. Email report back with a photo. If your animal isn't here, please give your animal a full description and any unique markings. Please carry your pet's images to use in the Missing Report or e-mail us at [email protected].
  • You can visit other local animal shelters in person or can contact other animal agencies in your area, veterinarians, pet shops, and groomers.
  • Create flyers with your pet’s description, your name, phone number some reward at the top. It’s better not to put an amount. Post the notices at the shelter, in public areas. You can also search in parks, playgrounds, schools, and homes where other animals live and hangout.
  • Leave notices with neighbors and consult with animal agencies in the city if you have recently relocated. If you have recently moved, leave them your address and telephone updates.
  • Check found pet ads in newspapers, and you can also place lost ads. Get in touch with local radio and cable stations about airing lost announcements. Look on Craigslist.
  • Check all existing license plates, microchips, and other traceable identification records. Change it with the appropriate organization if the details are not up to date.
  • Check Hemet and San Jacinto lost and found pets facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/338704466275839/
  • Be aware that unaltered pets travel much further than altered pets. Expand your search accordingly.
  • When your pet comes to you, do not punish it. Instead, care for it since it might be frightened with this experience.
  • If you locate your pet, you should contact us and all other organizations that have missing reports. Please contact us to inquire for guidance if you need assistance and figure out how to train your pet from leaving again.

If any pet was found in Ramona’s jurisdiction, please bring it to us, or complete a found animal report (if you can hold it), or call Ramona Animal Control for a pick-up during business hours. You will be asked to provide a valid ID.

Please check the appropriate shelter first before coming to RHS.

Any found pets from the unincorporated areas of Riverside County like East Hemet, Idyllwild, Valle Vista, City of Perris, and Menifee go to the County’ San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus (see listings below). Any other surrounding cities may be covered by Animal Friends of the Valley.
