I found a pet, what are the next steps?

If you’ve found a pet, here’s how you can help:

1. File a Found Pet Report

Start by visiting PetLink's website to submit a found pet report, or call 877-738-5465 (select option 2, then option 1). You’ll need the pet’s microchip number to complete this step.

2. Owner Notification

After filing the report, we’ll notify the pet’s owner using the contact information they’ve provided:

- Email: Sent twice daily for 5 days.

- Phone: A voicemail will be left if the call isn’t answered (unless voicemail is unavailable).

- Text Message: Sent once daily for 5 days.

3. Connecting with the Owner

- You can choose to share your contact details so the owner can reach out to you directly.

- If the owner doesn’t respond quickly, please call us at 877-738-5465 (option 2, then option 1). We’re available 24/7. Alternatively, you can email us at petlink@petlink.net (Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM EST).

4. Temporary Care

If you’re unable to care for the pet temporarily, reach out to your local animal control agency or SPCA for assistance.

If you need further guidance, don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help!
