LOST PETS
FINDING YOUR LOST PET
Do not rely on this
site as the sole source for finding your pet. At any time up to
300 animals are provided care at the shelter. We take in approximately
1,300 animals each month. Animals on our "Lost Pets Search" are listed by breed and
description. Please remember they will be listed by the breed or mix that we
think represents the animal. It may be different from what you know the breed
to be. Pictures are provided for as many pets as possible to aid owners
in identifying their pets. However, photos are not intended to
replace in-person, visual identification.
Filing A Missing
Pet Report
If you register your
lost pet online please be advised that pet registrations filed on this site are
not forwarded to Lee County Animal Services. You must fill out the missing
pet report in person. Lee County Animal Services cannot be responsible for
your failure to claim your pet. You must do this in person and provide
proof of ownership such as a county license or veterinary records. Lost
pets can only be held for five (5) days due to space. Do not delay looking
for your pet.
ADOPTING A LOST PET
Animals featured in this section of our website are currently not available for
adoption. However, if you see a pet that you would like to adopt you may
fill out an adoption application at the shelter or print out an application from
our site and fax it to 432-2118. Please write the pet's animal ID number
on the application.

day stray holding period, it may be adopted to the first person with an approved
application on file for that pet. Due to safety and liability issues the
public is not permitted to visit with any pet in the Lost Section of the
shelter. Animals are usually available for viewing after the 5 day stray
holding period provided Animal Services is not still pursuing leads to locate
the owner. To view pets already available for adoption, click on "Search for a Pet to Adopt" on our home page.
