Visit the Animal Services shelter (Martinez or Pinole) nearest you as soon as possible. Bring a photograph of your pet and fill out a Lost Animal Report. It is very important that you come in person to look through the kennels at least every three days after filing a report.
You are the best person to identify your pet!
Animals impounded
without a current license are held three (3) full working days for the owner to reclaim. Animals with a current license are held ten (10) working days.
It is essential that you continue to personally check
area shelters, as only you would be certain to recognize your pet. Do not give up too soon. Animals may wander for weeks before being rescued by an Animal Services Officer, or a well-meaning person may have held the animal for some time before turning it in.
