• If the lost pet is aggressive or otherwise unstable, call  or animal control for help.

• If you feel safe approaching the pet and it is wearing a collar with ID tags, check for information about the owner and let them know you found their lost pet.

• If the pet is not wearing visible identification but you are able to safely approach the pet, take it to the nearest animal shelter or veterinary clinic to be scanned for a microchip.

• If you are unable to approach the pet or determine the pet's owner, contact your local animal control agency. Animal control can scan the pet for a microchip and get the pet off of the streets, so it doesn't get injured.
