Lost Pets

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

If your pet has been lost, Animal Control recommends that you visit the shelter to look for your pet at least every other day. Sheltering of strays for the city of Richmond is provided by Richmond Animal Care & Control. You may also contact Richmond Animal Care & Control at 804-646-5573 regarding your pet.
