If you have LOST a pet:

• Come to the Brazos Shelter as soon as you can in order to file a lost report and to look through the kennels.
  • Unless your pet is wearing a tag or has a microchip, we cannot identify any pet over the phone. BUT REMEMBER....ALL pets can lose their tags, and sometimes a microchip might not scan, so you must come to the Shelter to file a report. Also, by doing a report, we are legally able to give your information to anyone who might have found your pet.
• All Brazos County strays are held for 72 business hours before becoming available for adoption or euthanasia, so you must come by atleast every other day to see if your pet is here.
• If your pet comes in and we are able to obtain a microchip number, or is wearing a tag, we will do our best to track down the owner. However, unless your information has been updated everytime you moved or changed a phone number, it might not be possible for us to find you....so come to the Shelter in person to look.

If you have FOUND a pet:

• Call the Shelter and give us a description of the pet, and we will check the Lost Book for any matching descriptions. If you do not know what the pet's description is, bring the pet to us so we can take a look at it.
• Have the pet scanned for a microchip. All of the local vets and the Shelter have microchip scanners, and will more than happy to check a pet for a microchip.
• If you are able to hold on to the pet for a few days, we will put a description of the pet into our Found Pet Book.
• If you are not able to hold the pet for a few days, bring it to the Shelter - this is where people will come to look for their beloved lost pet.
