Lost and Found Animals

Grapevine Animal Services is here to help animals get back to their home and the people who love them.  We offer lost and found reporting as a courtesy. Please visit the shelter once every 3-5 days while your animal is missing.  We do our best to make matches by taking and providing reports/photos for reference-you know your animal best.  Owners are encouraged to take an active role in recovering their lost pet.

What Else Can I Do If I Have Lost My Pet?

Once you have reported your pet missing, consider the following items. There are so many places where your pet may end up or be reported to, we encourage you to be an active participant in locating your sweet friend.

  1. If your pet is microchipped, call the company the chip is registered with to ensure your contact information is up to date and to notify them the animal is missing
  2. Connect with neighbors on NextDoor or via the NextDoor app
  3. Make a free lost pet search/notification with Petco Love Lost that uses facial recognition: Petco Love Lost  
  4. Try online lost and found websites and search Facebook sites such as: Lost and Found Pets HEB, Lost and Found Pets Keller Southlake Colleyville, Texas - Lost Dogs, Cats & Pets, Lost and Found Pets of Grapevine, Texas.
  5. Create a flyer at Helping Lost Pets, PawBoost, or other similar website for distribution or make your own "missing" flyer with color photo and phone number--keep it simple
  6. Call surrounding area shelters to leave a lost report

What Else Can I Do If I Have Found A Pet?

Once you have reported a found pet, consider the following:

  1. Have the animal scanned for a microchip. We will happily provide the service, or you may visit your nearest veterinary clinic. There is no charge to have an animal scanned for a chip.
  2. Connect with neighbors on NextDoor or via the NextDoor app
  3. Make a free found pet search/notification with Petco Love Lost that uses facial recognition: Petco Love Lost
  4. Try online lost and found websites and search Facebook sites such as:  Lost and Found Pets HEB, Lost and Found Pets Keller Southlake Colleyville, Texas - Lost Dogs, Cats & Pets
  5. Make a simple flyer.  Don't be afraid to use a picture, thinking someone who is not the owner will want to reclaim the cat. You may ask anyone who comes forward to provide details about the cat, veterinary records, or other photos of the cat that most owners would have in their possession
  6. Call surrounding area shelters to leave a found report
