Lost Pets

If the Animal Control Officer finds your pet, and your pet is wearing a current license tag on its collar, the officer will contact you. If another citizen finds your pet with its license tag, they may call the phone number on the license tag, and you will be contacted by our office with the finder’s information.

If you have lost a pet, there are a few places you should look. First, contact the University Park Police/Fire Dispatch Center at 214-363-3000 and ask if they have picked up your pet or had any calls concerning a pet like yours. Your call will also make them aware that your pet is missing so that they can help you locate it. If you have to leave a message, please be sure to include important details such as your name, your phone number, your address, the breed of your pet, the color or markings of your pet, if it was wearing a collar or tags, and its last known location.

Second, you should check with Dallas Animal Services 214-671-0315 at 1818 N. Westmoreland, Dallas, TX 75212 to make sure your pet hasn’t been found and already turned into their facility. We recommend you visit that facility in person.
