Lost and Found Pets

Reunited! Thanks to an updated microchip, we were able to help Sampson find his way back to his very relieved family.

Lost and Found Pets

Each year Southern Pines Animal Shelter takes in over 3,200 pets. More than 34% of these pets come in as strays. While we make every effort to reunite owners with their pets, last year only 116 were reclaimed.

Animals wearing identification like an engraved tag or microchipped animals have a much higher chance of finding their way back to their original owners. We encourage everyone to have ID on your animals at all times and remember to replace collars after baths.

If your pet becomes lost or you have found a pet please use the pages and their resources below to try to get that pet back home where it belongs!
