HAVE YOU FOUND A PET?
First, think of the animal as lost and not abandoned and make every
effort to reunite the animal to an owner.
Contact the HCPH VPH office by telephone and report the animal
as found.
Bring the animal to the HCPH VPH facility or check with a local
veterinarian to scan the animal for a microchip.
Return to the place where you found the animal and put up a found
pet poster near that location.
If you find the owner, especially off a newspaper or website posting,
ask them to provide a picture of the animal and meet in a public
place like a police station.
VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION
(Formerly called Harris County Animal Control)
The Veterinary Public Health Division posts photos of all animals
found on their website and updates it twice daily. If you have lost
your pet, please check this website, www.hcphes.org/vph.
HAVE YOU LOST A PET?
Start your search immediately, don’t wait to make flyers.
Contact all possible animal control or animal welfare agencies in
the area. Visit each location at least every other day.
Call your pet’s veterinarian and the microchip company to make
sure they have current contact information for you. A citizen may try
to call the veterinarian’s office or microchip company themselves
from your pet’s tags.
Call all the veterinarians in your area to alert them to the description
of your lost pet in case someone brings it to their clinic.
Check with your neighbors, especially families with children and
ask if they’ve seen a pet that looks like yours.
Search your neighborhood on foot, your pet maybe be nearby but
is injured and unable to get back home.
Leave a towel or article of clothing with your scent on it outside of
your home. Your pet may be disorientated and will be attracted
by your scent.
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MICROCHIPS
& MICROCHIP COMPANIES
A microchip is a small device (size of a grain of rice) that is permanent
and implanted with a needle under the skin of pets.
Pets do not have to be given any pain medication or anesthesia to
implant a microchip.
Microchips are not likely to move or need repair if implanted correctly.
Microchips, when scanned, show a unique code. The microchip
must be registered with the corresponding microchip manufacture
to record any owner and animal data.
Microchips do not work like GPS locators or LoJack and cannot give
a signal to find the location of your lost pet.

HARRIS COUNTY LEASH LAW
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents.
While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running
at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many
children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could
result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.
