Humane Association of Warren County

Lost and Found Process

If you lose your pet, call the shelter at (513) 695-1176 or visit the shelter, daily if possible, during our business hours Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 11 – 5, Tuesday and Thursday 11 – 7. It is important that you visit the animal shelters that you call so that you can identify your pet if it is there. It is often difficult to identify a pet by a phone description.

Animal Receiving
If you have found a stray and want to drop it off, or if you are dropping off your pet, you can bring the pet to the Animal Receiving entrance at the shelter between the hours of 11 a.m - 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. If you have found a stray and Animal Receiving is closed, but the shelter is still open, please ring the bell and we will try to assist you. The open hours of the Humane Association are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 11-5, Tuesday & Thursday 11-7. Please note that it is illegal to abandon an animal, and violaters will be prosecuted.

There is a fee of $25 to drop off a pet if you are a Warren County resident. If you live outside of Warren County, the drop off fee is $80. Please remember that many pets have microchip identification imbedded in their bodies, so a veterinarian’s office or an animal shelter can scan the animal and quickly find their owner. If you are attempting to try to find the pet’s owner yourself, you should contact local animal shelters with information about the pet, as the owner may be searching for it.

Please call the Dog Warden’s office at (513) 695-1352 regarding stray dogs.
