Secure the animal if possible. If you cannot safely contain the pet, then call Animal Services at 325-657-4224.
Check for tags or other identification.
- If the pet has tags, then call or text their owners and set up a reunion.
- If they have a rabies tag, then call the vet office it originated from.
- Sometimes the owner information is stitched directly onto the collar or harness so make sure to look there as well.
Scan for microchip at Animal Services or a local veterinarian office.
If you are able to and feel comfortable, hold on to the pet for 48 hours.
- Typically, pets don’t wander too far from home so the chances are that someone is looking for them close to where they were found.
- Consider enrolling in our Good Samaritan program to temporarily house the pet after receiving shelter vaccines.

Scan for microchip at Animal Services or another microchip scanner location.

Push the scanner's power button and ensure sufficient battery.
Starting between the pet's shoulder blades, scan slowly across their back in an "s" motion.
Scan down the back and sides including neck and shoulders all the way down the legs.

If the pet has a microchip, make note of the number by snapping a quick photo of the scanner's results.

Look up the microchip number on 24PetWatch's found pet list.
If the pet's microchip is not registered there, then look up the number on AAHA microchip lookup to see the microchip company the chip originated from. Call the company and ask for them to contact the owner.
