Lost & Found Animals

• If you have lost or found an animal, please create an account below and submit a detailed post with information about the animal, including your contact information, so we can better assist in reuniting pets with their owners. Under Virginia law, individuals who find a stray companion animal must notify the appropriate public animal shelter within 48 hours.
• Stray animals at our facility are automatically uploaded to the website upon intake. We recommend visiting our shelter regularly, in addition to monitoring our website, until you locate your pet.
• Stray animals found without identification are held for 5 days. Stray animals found with identification (collar, tag, license, tattoo, etc.) are held for 10 days. If an animal is not reclaimed by its owner within the applicable holding period, the animal may become available for adoption or other placement.
• For questions regarding the intake or redemption process, please call (804) 646-5574 or email [email protected].
