Lost & Found Pets
Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime? That’s why we’re partnering with Petco Love Lost, the largest, national pet database, to help lost and found pets reunite with their families. Petco Love Lost is the free and easy way to search over 200,000 pets with a single photo, thanks to photo-matching technology. Join us, and together we can unite to reunite at petcolove.org/lost!
Beware of scammers!
Scammers are targeting families looking for lost pets, calling from blocked numbers posing as HSTB staff, and even replicating our phone numbers to make it look like HSTB is calling. They are asking for payment for emergency surgery and/or to reclaim your pet. Do not fall for these scammers. HSTB would never ask for payment in this way. Any payment for services or reclaim fees is paid in person, never over the phone. If you have lost a pet, please review the information and resources below.
Protocol
Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center (HCPRC) is the county-designated shelter where stray/lost animals are held so their owners can find them. However, they allow us to accept and hold strays if we have space available.
To Reclaim Your Pet
If you see your pet in the listing below you will need to bring the following items in order to reclaim your pet:
- Photo ID
- Proof of ownership* (photos, adoption papers, veterinary records, etc)
- Proof of current rabies vaccination
Reclaim fees are based on length of stay and services provided.
*If the pet has a microchip registered with the current owner’s name, only a photo ID to prove identity is required.
