Steps to find your missing pet

Are you missing your dog or cat and not sure what to do? Use the following steps as a guide to insure your lost pet has every chance to find their way home.

  • Call Union County Animal Control at (541)963-1017 to report your missing dog.
  • Call the Animal Shelter at (541)963-0807 to make a lost dog or cat report.  Remember the more information about your dog, the easier they are to identify.
  • Check the Animal Shelter’s Stray/Found Dogs or Stray/Found Cats daily to see if your dog or cat has been brought to the shelter after hours.
  • Search your neighborhood and any area the dog may visit frequently.  Cats are normally found within 1 mile of their home.
  • Hang fliers with a current photo (if available) at the Animal Shelter and local businesses.
  • Place a lost ad in the local newspaper or radio station.

Only 62 % of stray dogs & 1.6% of stray cats were reunited with their owners last year.  Over eighty-percent of stray dogs brought to the shelter last year did not have any form of identification.  Help us help your dog return home… license your dog & today.
