WCHS has partnered with Petco Love to help reunite lost pets quickly and efficiently. By reporting your lost pet to Petco Love Lost, you’ll help build a strong database that allows our staff to review animals currently in shelter care and identify missing pets faster.
If you lost a dog or cat, please report it at the link below. Next, review the Reported Lost Pets map below.

Other Steps to Take
Get the word out digitally. Write up an online post and get it out there ASAP. Be sure to include a clear photo of your pet, a description of where they were last seen, whether they are microchipped and wearing a collar, and your name and contact information. Start by uploading the post to online sites such as:
- Your personal Facebook and Instagram pages
- Your local Nextdoor website
- Lost Dogs of Wisconsin (on Facebook)
- Lost Cats of Wisconsin (on Facebook)
- Pet FBI (where you can fill out a basic lost/found report online)
Get the word out the old fashioned way. Prepare a paper flyer based on the information in your online post and hang up copies around your neighborhood. Often, well-meaning people assume stray animals have been abandoned and will take them home.
Validate the chip. If your pet is microchipped, call the chip company to make sure your contact information on file is correct in case someone finds your pet and takes it in for chip reading.
