Lost a Pet
Discovering a pet is missing is a dreadful feeling, and we sincerely hope your friend makes it back home quickly and safely. Depending on the species of your pet and where they were lost, use the drop-down menus below to learn what your next step should be.
I Lost a DOG in MESA County
Because we are not the animal law enforcement agency in Mesa County, we cannot accept lost dogs into our Grand Junction facility. If your dog has been found and brought to a shelter, they will likely end up at Mesa County Animal Services. You can view found pets at MCAS at pets.mesacounty.us, and you can report your dog as missing at pets.mesacounty.us/lost-found-pets-in-our-community as well as the form below.

I Lost a CAT in MESA County
Cats are legally allowed to freely roam outdoors in Mesa County, which means that we are unable to accept found adult cats. If your cat is brought to us, we will scan for a microchip and if your cat’s microchip registration is up-to-date, you will be notified.
Report your cat as lost on Mesa County Animal Services’ website and on this page below.

I Lost a CAT in DELTA County
We are so sorry that your friend is missing!
Because cats are legally allowed to free roam in Delta, we are unable to accept found adult cats, which means it is unlikely that your cat is at our Delta Satellite Facility. However, you may view our stray pets here.
If your cat is brought to us, we will scan for a microchip and if your cat’s microchip registration is up-to-date, you will be notified.
Please give our Delta facility a call at 970-874-1078 to report your missing cat, and we will notify you if we hear anything about a cat matching that description.

Tips to Find Your Pet
![RHHS-A-12587-1](https://rhhumanesociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/RHHS-A-12587-1.jpg)
Make a Lost Pet Report
The first place to search is the closest animal shelter. If your pet was lost in Mesa County, contact Mesa County Animal Services. If the pet was lost in Delta County, contact our Delta Satellite Facility.
You can also make a community lost pet report at the bottom of this page.
Search the Area & Alert Neighbors
Typically, lost pets are found not far from home. Complete a thorough search of your neighborhood and knock door-to-door asking your neighbors to keep an eye out. A neighbor may have taken your pet into their home for safety.
Cats, especially if they’re not familiar with the area, will hide in very small spaces. Check under neighbor’s porches, in trees, and in other small and dark spaces with a flashlight, looking for their reflecting eyes. You can borrow a humane cat trap from Roice-Hurst Humane Society if needed.
Contact Your Pet's Microchip Company
Call your pet’s microchip company to ensure that your contact information connected to the microchip is up-to-date. This way, you will be notified if your pet’s microchip is scanned at a vet or shelter.
Post & Search in Online Groups
Utilize your community! Make posts and search in online groups.

Petco Love Lost is a fantastic tool that uses pet facial recognition to reunite pets with their families, allowing you to enter a photo of your lost pet and search a national lost and found pet database for a match.
Nextdoor is an app that connects neighborhoods and is a great place to post and search for your pet.
Post Flyers
Cover your neighboorhood and local shops with flyers of your pet, including a full-body photo of your pet, your contact information, the place and date your pet was last seen, and any reward offered. Consider laminating the flyers if possible to protect them from weather.
Contact Animal Shelters & Vet Offices
Make phone calls to local veterinary offices and other animal shelters and pet shops, as someone may have already found your pet and turned them into the nearest animal-related business.

We have been caring for this light (almost creamsicle) orange tabby cat - amber-colored eyes, skinny/fit, tall, no white spots, darker orange stripes. Very skittish. Looks to be around a year old. We have tried to get it to come inside, but our dog and other cats make it nervous. Assuming it is a boy, but unsure. We have been calling him Orange Junior.

Mature adult neutered male just showed up one evening. White with green eyes. Seems to be in good health/well-nourished. No collar. No palpable microchip. Very friendly towards people, but not so much towards other cats (mine, at least). Seems comfortable being outdoors day and overnight. Has access to food, water, and sheltered cushion. I'd like to get him home before the July 4th fireworks! (Picture from internet is very close to appearance.)

I did not pick this dog up, unfortunately he/she is too skittish to allow us to get very close. We spotted them multiple times at the same location. Kept tail tucked, unable to determine if male or female. I can describe where he/she seems to be hanging out, basically the Little Bear Campground on Island Lake on Grand Mesa.

I was unaware there was this form to fill out. I've posted multiple times on fb in multiple groups. It's been shared over 300 times. I've posted on animal control site, nextdoor and I've posted on lostmydoggie.com. They are great dogs and so I figured there was no way they couldn't be someone's, but no one has come forward. I've had them just over a week, waiting. These dogs are good, we call them Maui(tan, looks like a black mouth cur) and Marley(black and white, maybe heeler/pit mix). They definitely come together and protect each other. Maybe 5 years old??? I'd keep them but we are moving and do not have a fence and no one seems to be missing them so I would like to bring them in. Their only drawback is they are not leashed trained and are runners. Otherwise these two are perfect dogs. Can discuss more when I come in.

Found grey cat. Blind both eyes and decreased hearing. Caught him in neighbors yard. Was seen in neighborhood 2 weeks ago. He or she is isolated and protected from any other animals or cars in my fenced side yard with food and water. I wasn’t able to determine sex. Planning on having the cat chipped at vet or Mesa County rescue. Can’t get a photo as it is safe under my shed right now.

At approximately 10:10 pm, I was driving my personal vehicle near the intersection of 4th Street and Pitkin. I observed a red colored sedan parked in the middle of the intersection, located in the far right lane with their emergency lights on. I merged into the middle lane and observed a white dog walking in the middle of the intersection. I stopped my vehicle and put my emergency lights on and got out of my vehicle and retrieved the dog and placed the dog in my passenger seat. I notified the person in the red vehicle that I would attempt to get ahold of Animal Services.
I contacted a dispatcher and was connected with an Animal Services dispatcher. Animal Services notified me that my options were waiting for Animal Services to open at 8:00 am or take the dog to an outdoor dog kennel. I notified Animal Services that I would transport the dog to Roice-Hurst Humane Society, in which I obtained a pad lock combination for the outdoor dog kennel area.
At approximately 10:30 pm, I transported the dog to 362 28 Rd, Grand Junction, CO 81501. The dog was placed in the outdoor dog kennel area and I verified the dog had water and adequate warmth and shelter.

We have a couple of (neutered and immunized) feral boys. About a month ago (the date is approximate) this cat showed up. As he was super skittish, we thought he was also feral. But he's already been neutered and he's increasingly friendly and we thought this might be someone's loved and wanted, but lost, boy.

Yes. Has collar and tag has broken off
I have a brownish/blackish/murky lean cat that has come to my house twice in the last week. Once trying to catch a bird in the back yard and again coming towards me in the front yard. My cat jumped in the window and scared him/her just as he was coming up to me. Very trusting and friendly. Has a collar and you can see where the tag has broken off. I am putting food out for him/her and am sure he/she will keep coming. He/she is hanging around close to my house. Enclosed are two stock photos of a very similar looking cat. If this is your kitty, please call me or email me. If I can catch him, I will keep him in my house for you.
