Lost & Found
Lost Your Pet?
If you have lost an animal, please complete our online form or send us an email. The OHS receives thousands of lost animals every year. Submitting a complete lost report will help us to quickly identify some animals.
Submitting a lost report is not a substitute for visiting the shelter to look for your animal.
Found a Pet?
If you have found an animal, legally you must take reasonable steps to find the owner. Advertise in the free 'found' section of the newspaper; put up posters in your neighbourhood; bring the animal to our shelter or a veterinary clinic to check for a microchip implant. Please fill in our online form or send us an email.
If you are unable to search for or locate the owner, please transport the animal to the Municipal Animal Shelter at the Ottawa Humane Society.
