What does it mean if the Lost Pet has been placed with a foster
Some animals need extra care and attention or may be too young to be held at our holding facility. If this is the case, we work to place the Lost Pet with a foster until either safely returned to owner or transferred to an area partner agency for adoption.
The Lost Pet has been transferred to another facility
If the Lost Pet has been transferred to a partnering shelter or rescue organization, you must contact that organization for further information on the pet.
