We at Animal Control Shelter want to assist you in your efforts to reunite you with your pet.

Report a Lost Pet to Animal Control

Provided below are some tips that you may find helpful in your search.

1. Place an advertisement in the Savannah Newspaper (652-0225), Pennysaver (238-2040), Tell-N-Sell (927-7731) and the Spirit of the Westside (748-3567). Consider offering a reward to the public. Lost and found ads are FREE in these papers. Be sure to include the date and area where you animal was lost or found; however, DO NOT include your pet's name.
    
2. Post signs in nearby convenience stores, grocery stores and veterinarian's offices, not on utility poles. If a picture is included on the sign, it is easier for someone to identify your pet.
    
3. Check with your mail carrier, garbage collectors and other individuals who regularly frequents your neighborhood.
    
4. Call the following:
   
   • Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Referral Center at 355-6113
   • VCA Greater Savannah Animal Hospital at 355-8898
     If Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Animal Control transports an injured animal, one of those emergency facilities will be our destination.
      
5. ALSO NOTIFY THESE AGENCIES
   • PAWS - (912) 234-5931
   • Save-A-Life Animal Welfare Agency - (912) 598-SPAY (7729)
   • 2nd Chance - (912) 748-6097
   • Coastal Pet Rescue - (912) 228-3538
   • 98.7 The River
      
6. Provide the Humane Society with your missing pet's information by phoning (912) 354-9515.
    
7. Check on Craigslist.org website.
    
8. Check with ALL veterinarians
    
9. Place a piece of your worn clothing in an outside area near your house. Dogs can pick up a scent a good distance away.

We hope this helps in your search for your beloved pet. If you have not already done so, you should consider micro-chipping your animals, and PLEASE put their tags on their collars.

Sincerely,
Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Animal Control Staff
