In Polk County

If you find a dog in Polk County or a cat from either county, you may bring it to Willamette Humane Society during regular business hours.  We will scan the animal for a microchip and hold it for 3-5 days to give owners the opportunity to claim their pet. We will ask you to fill out a brief personality profile to provide us with any details you observed while the animal was in your care.  If the animal is not claimed by its owners, it will be evaluated for adoption.

You may also choose to hold the animal at your home while waiting for the owners. If you choose to do this, please bring the animal into WHS so we can scan it for a chip and get a detailed description, along with your contact information.  We will keep this report on file for 30 days. 

If you have questions about Lost & Found animals, please contact WHS (503) 585-5900, ext. 300, or email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
