LOST & FOUND DOG FORM
Lost your dog or found someones family pet?
Wondering what to do to find your family dog?

You leave for work or school in the morning with your beloved pet in what you considered a secure area. Now your family pet is missing and you’re wondering where to turn. Your first thought should be with Atherton Kennels & Shelter.

Malheur County, the Cities of Ontario, Nyssa, and Vale, Oregon as well as Payette, Idaho have all contracted with Atherton Kennels & Shelter to accept the dogs that are found running at large. We also receive dogs from all over the Treasure Valley. These strays come to us in a couple of ways. Law Enforcement has 24 hour access at our shelter to bring these animals in and individuals who find dogs can bring them in during shelter hours.

People may also call and let us know that they have found a stray animal, but want to hold on to it themselves and hopefully find the owner. Atherton Kennels and Shelter would like to see these pets find their way back home to their familiar surroundings and hopefully their loving family. In order for that to happen, here are a few suggestions from Atherton Kennels & Shelter to assist you in finding your lost pet.

• Put up posters in your neighborhood with an image of your pet, or even offer a reward.
