Contact your local law enforcement non-emergency number to report any lost or found pets, stray animals at large or possible neglect cases.

 

Tips for caring for a stray or lost pet:

Information from Best Friends Animal Society

  • Have the pet scanned for a microchip at the shelter or a veterinary office
  • If it has a collar with a rabies tag, contact the vet clinic with the tag number
  • Post on local lost and found pet groups on Facebook (Souris Valley Animal Shelter Community Pets, Save the Roof Kitty! Lost & Found, Minot Lost Pets, Minot Whiners & Complainers 2.0)
  • Hang flyers in the local area, at vet clinics and at the shelter
  • Talk to your neighbors
  • Ask your kids (kids are very good about knowing where a pet belongs)
  • Keep the found pet separated from any resident pets in your home for everyone’s safety and to prevent potential disease spread
