Act quickly. Start with the right report.

Humane Society of Tulsa is a private organization and does not have an Animal Control agreement with any government organization, so HST cannot pick up at-large animals. HST is also a managed-intake facility and often does not have the capacity to intake animals or process legal stray holds. Contact the appropriate Animal Control agency where the animal was found.

HST works closely with area shelters and Animal Control agencies and frequently performs rescue pulls from those shelters, so there is a strong chance the pet may eventually come into HST’s care.

Make lost-pet reports on neighborhood apps and groups such as Nextdoor, Ring, and neighborhood Facebook groups. Use Petco Love Lost to create a report and upload a current, clear photo of your pet. You can also use HST’s Lost & Found resource page to report or search for a pet and locate the correct Animal Control agency.

Most pets are found within a few blocks of home, so talk with neighbors and carefully search or drive the surrounding neighborhoods.

Microchips are not tracking devices. A microchip is a tiny chip, slightly larger than a grain of rice, placed just under the skin—usually between the shoulder blades. It emits a radio signal containing a unique number that can be read with a scanner. That number connects to a database containing your contact information and information about your pet.

The microchip itself does not send a GPS location. It is, however, vital for proving ownership and creating a permanent connection between you and your pet. Keep the registration current so a shelter or veterinary clinic can contact you when the chip is scanned.

For real-time tracking, a separate GPS device uses satellites and cellular service and must remain attached, charged, and activated. HST’s partner Fi offers these services.

• Register your pet’s microchip for free with Fi Nano.
