Lost and Found

What to do if your pet is lost:

• Post signs in the area where the pet was lost or found, at local vet offices, and here at our facility on Miller Street.



• Create a lost or found pet posting and examine the existing postings on the Lassie Come Home website and the Forsyth County Animal Control website.



• Contact Lassie Come Home, a not-for profit organization dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their owners at 336-789-7900.



• Go to the Forsyth County Animal Control offices on Sturmer Park Circle to see if your lost pet has been surrendered to or picked up by them. Visit them at least three times a week until your pet has been found. Click here for a map.



• Place an ad in your local newspaper and/or check the "Found Animal" ads as well. The Winston-Salem Journal will place a "Found Animal" ad at no charge to the finder.



• Contact local breed rescue groups.

Remember, having your pet micro-chipped for identification will greatly increase your chances of having your pet returned to you if lost. The Forsyth Humane Society periodically offers a microchip clinic at our facility on Miller Street. Read more about microchipping your pet.

Spaying or neutering your pet will reduce its desire to wander far from home.
