Animal enforcement does not normally bring in pets over the weekend. If you have lost your pet, please call the shelter and leave a detailed message. That should include your name and number, the area where the animal was lost, a description of the animal, and what type of collar your pet is wearing.
Please send us an email or call us as soon as your pet is missing. We take in Erie City and Erie, Forest and Clarion County strays daily.
Please include your name, phone number, a description of your pet including breed, size, sex, spayed/neuter info, where and when the pet was lost, and any distinguishing features (scar/docked tail/collar etc.)
Sending a picture of your lost pet is extremely helpful.
Your pet may also be taken to The Erie Humane Society or Summit Pet Hospital - be sure to contact as many places as possible when your pet comes up missing.
