How To Report A Lost Dog In Denver

A pet is a part of your family, and when one goes missing, you'll do anything to find him. No matter where in Colorado you've had a lost dog — Denver or Boulder, and beyond — DoNotPay can help bring your furry friend home.

Millions of pets go missing each year and less than a third of them make it back home. We're here to help you reunite with your lost dog as quickly as possible.

What to Do If Your Dog Goes Missing

If your dog goes missing, it's important to start looking for it immediately. According to the Denver Animal Shelter, it is very rare for a pet to wander back home. Oftentimes, someone finds a lost pet and takes it to the nearest shelter.

As soon as you notice your dog or cat is missing, begin calling local animal shelters. Some other ideas are listed below.

• Search the neighborhood and surrounding area.
• Print off flyers with a picture of your pet and post them all over town.
• Check social media apps like NextDoor and Facebook to see if anyone's seen your dog.
• Check out Denver Animal Shelter's Lost Pet Info Card for more resources.

Keep checking the Denver Animal Shelter's Lost Pets page on a daily basis. New photos are updated hourly, and you may just see your sweet pup's face.

How to Avoid Losing Your Pup

There are many things you can do to keep your pets safe at home. Some of these include:

1. Microchipping your pet
2. Keep your animal in your home or in an enclosed space (make sure your windows are closed as well.)
3. Put a collar on your pet that has up-to-date contact information on the tag.
4. Always use a leash when walking your dog.
5. Make sure you've got current pictures of your pup, just in case.
6. Make sure you obtain a dog license for your pet in Denver.

All of these strategies will ensure that your pet stays home, safe and cozy where he belongs.

Report Your Lost Dog to a Denver Animal Shelter

If your pet does escape and becomes lost, it's important to immediately report your information to the Denver Animal Shelter. You can either do this by telephone or visit in person.

By Phone

If your pet is lost, you can call the Denver Animal Shelter. It doesn't matter the time of day since an officer will answer your call.

Here are the steps to take:

1. Contact the Denver Animal Shelter and give them your pet's description along with your contact information.
2. Check the Lost Pet website often. Pictures are updated hourly, and if your pet has been rescued, you'll find them here.
