| What to do if you lose your pet Call the Capital Area Humane Society at 626-6060. We will check our lost & found logbook and add a description of your pet. Call Animal Control in the county you lost your pet: - Ingham County (517) 676-8370 - Eaton County (517) 224-5116 or (517) 482-8803 - Jackson County (517) 788-4464 - Livingston County (517) 546-2154 - Shiawasee County (517) 743-2406 - Ionia County (616) 527-9040 - Visit Animal Control every day or two. Read the FOUND classified ads in the Lansing State Journal every day. Consider placing a LOST classified ad in the Lansing State Journal. Make and post fliers around town. Consider calling National Pet Recovery at (800) 984-8638. For a small fee, they can enter your lost pet in their database, post fliers for you, and provide "pet detective" services if requested. CAHS accepts only owner-surrendered animals. According to Michigan law, a stray animal must be surrendered to the Animal Control agency for the county in which the animal was found. This gives the animal the best chance to be reunited with its owner. Further, it is a misdemeanor to keep a stray animal without notifying Animal Control. Upon surrendering a stray to Animal Control, you may leave your name and phone number to be contacted if the stray you found is not claimed by its owner. If Animal Control is unable to place the animal, it is possible for you to adopt the animal if you desire. If you find a stray animal with a rabies tag, you may call the veterinarian noted on the tag to trace the tag number to the animal's owner. If you find a stray animal with a tag identifying that the animal has an ID microchip implant, you may take the animal to CAHS or any Animal Control agency with a scanner to trace the owner. If you find a stray animal with a CAHS tag (indicating the animal was adopted from the CAHS shelter), call CAHS at 626-6060 to trace the owner. |
