Lost and Found
Animals love to explore. And sometimes, no matter the love or the high level of care they receive, they wander a little too far from home. If you’ve lost an animal, don’t panic. Here are some steps you should take to help reunite your family with your lost loved one.
Lost Pet?Notify the Humane Society of Morrow County.
Contact us with the name and description of your pet, a recent photo, closest cross streets to the location where they were last seen, your town and contact info (phone, email) and any other information that may be helpful in trying to locate your animal. For example, does he have a collar, tattoos? How old is she? What condition was he in? Does he need medication? Is she fearful or friendly? For lost dogs, notify the Morrow County Dog Shelter. Call the Morrow Country Dog Shelter at 419-946-1747 with the name and description of your pet, along with the location where they were last seen. You can also visit the shelter at 115 Young Avenue, Mt. Gilead OH 43338. Alert Your Neighbors Right Away. Ask your neighbors to keep an eye out for your pet. We quite often find lost animals in the same neighborhood they live in. Post a Picture and Description of Your Pet on Twitter and/or Facebook. Social media can help the word spread quickly. Make Posters. Include a clear picture of your pet along with their name, a brief description and your phone number. Place a Lost Ad In Your Local Newspaper.

Found Pet?If you’ve found an animal who is looking for their home, here are a few steps you can take to help reunite them with their family.
