ALERT:

Beware of a growing scam where a caller impersonates SPCA Wake or law enforcement (with a spoofed phone number to appear legitimate), falsely claiming the lost pet was found badly injured and requiring urgent surgery. The caller demands money and warns failure to pay will result in the euthanasia of the pet. If you receive a call like this, please immediately hang up and call the organization or office directly to verify whether the call is legitimate. Once confirmed the call is a fake, please report it to 311 for investigation.

If you have lost a pet, please click the "Next" button below for information on what to do next.

Lost an animal? We're here to help.

Pet's can go missing quickly, whether through an open door or gate at home or when frightened by loud noises. It can be a scary and stressful experience for both your family and your pet. Try not to panic. Your quick response combined with neighborhood networking greatly increases the odds of locating your pet.

Within the First Hour
Knock on your neighbors doors to ask if they have seen your pet. Post on community message boards or apps. This could include neighborhood apps such as Nextdoor & Ring Neighbors, a neighborhood email list, or a Facebook group. Make sure to include a description of your pet (color, size, male/female), last known location or closest intersection and a photo.

If your pet is microchipped, contact the microchip company right away to report them as lost, and update your contact information if needed.

Within the Next Few Hours
Start searching the Petco Love Lost database and upload your pet's photo's now. Petco Love Lost, an SPCA of Wake Partner, provides free facial recognition software to help reunite lost pets to their owners. Your pet’s uploaded photo will be scanned against photos of found animals at local shelters and those reported by the community.

Next, make a flyer. Walk your neighborhood and hand it out to neighbors, postal carriers, UPS/Amazon drivers, landscapers and tell them about your missing pet.

Consider setting up a PawBoost alert.

Within the First 24 Hours
Call your county's animal shelter to see if anyone has turned your pet over to them. If you live near the border of a neighboring county, contact their animal shelter as well. Make sure to check back as frequently as you can.

Hang lost pet posters. Hang posters at major intersections within a 3-mile radius of where your dog was lost or a 1-mile radius of where your cat was lost. Once the pet is found, retrieve your lost pet posters from wherever you hung them.

Post your pet on social media. Include clear photos of both your pets face and body, and include your contact information. Continue to look for your pet frequently on shelter websites, lost & found websites & social media groups.

Last but not least, fill out an SPCA of Wake Lost Pet help form. The form starts with the questions below. Include as much detail as possible, and please attach photos when prompted. If we receive a call from someone who has found a pet matching your pet's description, we will contact you.
