We have found that most families assume their dog is lost if it does not show up for dinner, and they call the Humane Society immediately. Yet cat owners sometimes wait until their pets are gone for a few days before reporting them lost. We urge all pet owners to report missing pets to us immediately. Your quick response can save your pet from suffering if it was brought in with injuries. Animals wearing identification are held a minimum of nine days before being made available for adoption. Unidentified, lost animals are held a minimum of 48 hours. If your pet was wearing ID — a microchip, an ID tag or license — that is a very valuable tool to help you in your search. HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO: Search your home thoroughly Canvas the neighborhood on foot File a lost animal report — visit the Humane Society in person — and bring a photo Your pet may arrive here just hours after getting lost. He may also be very frightened or injured, so do not wait a few days before checking with us. Because our interpretation of your animal's description may be different than yours, visiting the shelter at least every other day is very important. If you cannot come, send someone who knows your pet. If you do not find your pet here on your first visit, fill out a lost report (kept on file for 30 days) and attach a current photo of your pet. We strongly recommend that you continue to visit us regularly. With as many as 200 lost and stray animals arriving daily, you are the one person who can best identify your pet. Check online daily Advertise Found! Call City & County Dead Animal Pickup To check if your animal was found on one of the state freeways, call 831-6714. |

Come to the Shelter and look for your pet. Also try touching the link named 'Search our Found Pets Database!' The Hawaiian Humane Society is dedicated to helping reunite lost pets and their owners. Through our lost and found service, we help thousands of pets find their way home.
Put a "lost" ad in the newspaper. Describe your pet, and give details about when and where it was last seen, and where you can be reached. Remember to check the newspaper's "found" ads as well. Call radio stations that air neighborhood information. Post notices in neighborhood markets. Include a description of your pet and, if possible, a picture. Check with the veterinarians in your area. Enlist the help of neighbors, the mail carrier and the newspaper delivery person. Talk to children you know who play in the area, and groups that use any nearby parks.
