How to take action

We’re here to help reunite the pet you found with their owner

Report the pet

Report the pet you found on Petco Love Lost with a photo to make the pet visible to pet parents searching for their lost pet.

Look for ID tags

Check for tags on the pet’s collar and look for contact information. If there are no tags, take them to a Petco, vet, or shelter to scan for a microchip.

Alert your community

Call your local animal shelter and vet’s office and report that you’ve found a lost cat or dog.

Get social

Speak with neighbors and anyone else in the area who might know who owns the pet.
