How to Help
Lost and found

When a pet goes missing or when you find one, it’s important to act quickly. Pets can travel long distances in a short amount of time, and once they enter a shelter, their chances of being reunited drop significantly (only about 10% for dogs and 2% for cats). Whether you’ve lost your pet or found someone else’s, click the More Information button to follow the steps and start the search now to give them the best chance of getting home safely. 

Request Assistance

We know you love your pet, and we don’t want you to have to give them up. Memphis Animal Services is here as your Pet Resource Center, offering support if you’re in a tough spot or need help caring for your pet. You can also request assistance from an Animal Services Officer for animal control needs within the City of Memphis.
