Lost & Found

Please report pets lost or found in Calaveras County to Animal Services at 209-754-6509.

You may also include them on the Lost & Found section of our website (below) by filling out THIS FORM. NOTE: This form is only for the owner or person who found the animal. If you are submitting an animal for someone else, it must be at their request, with their consent and knowledge.

If you find a pet, please take it to a veterinarian’s office or to the Calaveras County Animal Shelter to find out if the animal has a microchip implant–there is no charge for this. If there is a chip it will help you locate the owner quickly in most cases. You can then take the animal back to your home while waiting for it to be claimed, if you are willing to do so, but please make sure you keep the animal contained in a safe place and do not let it roam.

We received a report of a large, white, deceased dog on Hwy 26, near Ospital Road in the Valley Springs area. It looks like it could be a Maremma. As of 5/20/13, the dog is reported to have been there for almost a week.

Comments/Additional Info:  I have just recently moved from my home on Rawhide Dr. in Arnold. I’m still in Arnold yet my cat went missing the day of moving. He is an outdoor cat so he was out wandering while I was moving. I’ve checked back at the old property every other hour, everyday, for the last 4 days leaving his favorite food out on the deck with water, checking from about 10am to 10pm everyday and no sign of him, food isn’t touched, and neighbors havent seen him. It is VERY unlike him to just go missing, especially the day I was moving across the highway. Please help me.
