It will be invaluable should either of the following happen to you… Lost your petCall the HSEC shelter at 419-626-6220We will write down its description & your number, in case the person who finds it calls us. We will also keep an eye out for it in case someone brings it in. Call the Erie County Dog Pound at 419-627-7607They will also do the same as above. Call the Sandusky Register at 419-625-5500They will run a lost ad for free for 3 days. If you call before 3 pm, it will run the next day. Tell your neighbors.If they see your pet, they will know you are looking for it. Post flyers with a picture of your pet in your neighborhoodA picture will work much faster than just a written description. Include your phone number. Leave your pet’s bed or carrier in your yardPlace an additional item that smells like him or her with it. The scent may lead it back home. This is extremely important if you lose your pet while out with it somewhere. In this case, place these items where you were last with your pet. Found a petCall the HSEC Shelter at 419-626-6220We will write down its description & your number, in case the person who lost it calls us. Depending on where you found the pet, we can give you phone numbers to other neighboring Humane Societies. Call the Erie County Dog Pound at 419-627-7607They will also do the same if you have found a dog. If it has a dog license, they will look up the number & give you the owner’s information. If the dog does not have a tag, they will make arrangements with you to take it into the dog pound to find the owner. If the owner cannot be found within 72 hours, they will put it up for adoption. If the dog has a license and the Dog Pound is closed, call the Erie County Sheriff’s office at 419-625-7951 and they will look up the owner’s information for you. Call the Sandusky Register at 419-625-5500They will run a found ad for free for 3 days. If you call before 3 pm, it will run the next day. If after all of the above, you are unable to locate the owner…Call the HSEC shelter to schedule a drop-off of the animal. We schedule incoming animals by appointment to make sure we have room for them. You may have to house your found furry creature for a little while until we can get them in. Call and schedule as soon as possible. If you end up finding the owner or a suitable adoptive family, we have absolutely no problem with you canceling your appointment. Friendly ReminderAlmost all of this can be avoided if you make sure your dog wears a current Erie County Dog License. (Tags are available at the HSEC shelter) If your cat is allowed outside, make sure it is wearing an expandable collar with a tag that includes your phone number. |
