In the aftermath of a storm, you might find a lost cat or dog. It is important to know that there may not be shelter space available immediately for the found pet and you may wish to offer or help find a temporary home for the animal until their owner is located or space opens up at one of the animal shelters in your community. Along with helping get the animal to safety there are a number of ways that you can help that starts with checking to see if the pet is wearing a license tag. You can call your county’s animal shelter and tell them the animal’s license number and they will be able to help you track down the owner. If they are not wearing a license, they may be microchipped. County Animal Shelters, veterinary offices and SICSA have the tools to help read those chips which also may be able to help you track down the owners. People are also encouraged to fill-in the SICSA Lost and Found Pet Report as well: http://www.sicsa.org/lost-and-found-pets.
