Found a Stray?

If you have found a stray animal, the first thing to look for would be its collar tag. Many pet owners will leave a collar tag on their pet with their contact information for you to call. You can also follow the below steps.

1. Check to see if the dog is wearing a collar or tag with the contact details of the owner. Only approach if calm.
   
   
2. Stay clear if the dog’s displaying aggressive behavior and contact the local dog warden.
