Found Pets

Did you find a pet?

If you’ve found a pet, please view the list below of jurisdictions contracted with our shelter to see if we are the right shelter. If you’ve found a pet in one of these areas, by law you should notify Everett Animal Shelter (EAS) by submitting an online found pet report. We also recommend you post information on local lost dog Facebook groups or local lost cat Facebook groups,  https://lost.petcolove.org/found-pet-101 Petco Love Lost, NextDoor and other online options as soon as possible, check with local veterinary hospitals and also post large visible signs in the area the animal was found. Often this is the best way to get the pet back home. 

If you can keep the pet while looking for the owner but need pet food or other supplies, indicate this on the found report. If you are unable to keep the animal while looking for its owner, submit a found pet report to make arrangements to bring the pet to us. Our shelter operates by appointment only. Please do not bring the pet to us without contacting us first. 

If you found a cat, please read our Community Cats page.
