Lost & Found Pets - Yakima Humane Society

If you have lost or found a pet, please complete the form below.

Lost and found pet reports will be visible for 30 days past the reported date. Please fill out one report per animal. Pets without a photo are 75% less likely to be reunited with their families. Once lost and found reports are submitted it may take YHS staff 1 business day to update.

To request a report be removed, altered or extended, contact YHS staff at [email protected] or call 509.457.6854.

Remember, if you have found an animal it is imperative that you take the animal to a nearby veterinary clinic or animal shelter so that it can be scanned for a microchip.

LOST PET TIPS

Act immediately! The longer you wait the further your pet can go.
Fill out the report above and include a photo. These reports are good for 30 days and must be renewed by the owner. It's the owners responsibility to check the shelter every two days for their pets.
Place ads on local social media sites such as Facebook and PawBoost and watch for any found ads that might match the description of your pet.
Post signs at intersections within a 2 mile radius of where your pet was lost. In addition, post signs at grocery stores, community centers, pet stores, veterinary offices, churches and apartment complex laundromats.
Search the neighborhood, often. Early morning hours and sunset are prime time to search. After dark tends to be a good time to look for cats.
Ask neighbors, letter carriers and delivery people if they have seen your pet. Print and handout lost pet sheets with your pet's photo and your phone number.
If you have recently moved, conduct a search in your old neighborhood.
Place an item that will smell familiar to your pet in a cardboard box and place it out in your yard.
Thoroughly search your house and any place the pet could hide. If your animal usually comes to certain sound, a can opener or a treat bag opening, try making those sounds outside.
