Lost Dog Help: What to Do Right Now

Found a Dog? How to Get It Home

1. Check for ID and rabies tags; call the number.
2. Take the dog to any vet or shelter to scan for a microchip (free at most) (AVMA).
3. Run the number through the AAHA lookup to find the registry.
4. File a found report with local animal control/shelter, since owners call and visit there (ASPCA).
