Lost & Found pets

What to do if you found a lost pet

We partner with Petco Love Lost, a free tool that uses photo matching to help reunite pets with their families.
Start by reporting a lost or found pet and uploading a photo.

Found a Dog

Call Othello Police Department (509-488-3314) to report the dog. An officer will respond.

  • Dogs are brought to Hands ‘N Paws once secured
