if your dog goes missing... 

It's more common than you'd think for dogs to escape their yard or break loose of their collar.  Below are resources and information that can be helpful in the first hours that your dog goes missing.

​

​

For assistance call Kelly Conover/Marcia Sanford (lost pet recovery volunteers) at (610) 742-2227.  They can provide guidance and support regarding first steps to take.  If your dog is lost for a period of time, they can provide dog trapping servies (tracking sightings, anticipating dog's travel pattern based on knowledge of lost dog behavior, cameras/food stations, trapping, etc) free of charge.

  

 

Reporting your lost dog: 

1. Contact Animal Control Solutions (Maplewood/South Orange animal control) at (908) 722-1271- leave your name and number in case someone finds your dog and animal control is alterted or picks up your dog.

​

2. Contact local PD's (depending on where your dog went missing/was last seen) to let officers know your dog is missing so they can keep an eye out and know who to contact if someone reports seeing your dog.
