Lost Pets

If an Animal Control Officer finds your pet, and your pet is wearing a current license tag on its collar, Animal Services will contact you. If another citizen finds your pet with its license tag, they may use the tag number to contact you through our online tag search or by calling the phone number on the license tag.

If your pet has been lost, Animal Services recommends that you visit the shelter to look for your pet at least every other day. Strays in Nevada County may be found at Sammies Friend Animal Shelter, the Grass Valley Animal Shelter, or the Truckee Animal Shelter.

You may also contact Animal Control at 530-265-1471 regarding your pet.
