Auburn Valley Humane Society can only take animals found in the city limits of Auburn. If you found a pet, outside of Auburn, please click here.

The animal you found may have a Microchip! Microchips cannot be seen or felt. Take the animal to a veterinary hospital or shelter to get it scanned. Too many times we find people holding onto animals that may have a microchip and an owner!  At AVHS, we have been able to reunite 54% of lost dogs with their owners.

To improve the probability that the animal is reunited, call or take the animal to the jurisidiction agency or animal welfare agency that is responsible for handling lost animals in the area where the pet was lost. Click here to see a list of other pet agencies.
