The San Diego Humane Society is urging anyone who may have lost a pet during Fourth of July festivities to check local shelter listings right away. The SDHS took in 127 lost pets as of Monday, and had only reunited 22 with their owners, according to Director of Public Relations Nina Thompson. The organization updates its lost-and-found page continuously and urges owners to check the list for their pets. “To support re-unifications, San Diego Humane Society is waiving all reclaim fees at our campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside and San Diego through July 7,” she said. “If you believe a pet may be yours, please identify the campus location and come with valid proof of ownership (photos, vaccination records, adoption paperwork, microchip information) and a photo ID, so we can reunite you as quickly as possible.” The lost-and-found page can be found here. Owners of missing pets can also text “lost” to 858-SAN-LOST for step-by-step guidance. Thompson suggested that pet owners post clear photos and basic details (breed, color, gender, last seen location) to neighborhood groups and social media. If the pet is microchipped, they should contact the microchip company to report the animal missing. Last year, 253 stray pets came to the SDHS between July 4 and July 7, Thompson said. ...read more read less
