Lost and Found Animals

Animal Services Officers pick up stray animals from the following jurisdictions:

• City of Healdsburg
• City of Santa Rosa
• Town of Windsor
• Unincorporated Sonoma County

We house stray animals for the City of Santa Rosa and Unincorporated Sonoma County.

If you find your lost pet on our website, call us at (707)565-7100 Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., or send an email to TheAnimalShelter@SonomaCounty.gov.  Email or bring in proof of ownership, such as vet records and photos of your pet, as well as your driver's license, identification card or passport. In most instances, the person picking up the animal may be responsible for paying the following fees:

• Vaccinations given at intake
• Impound
• Board
• Unaltered fine, if the animal is a dog or cat and not spayed or neutered
• A license for dogs
• Spay or neuter deposit or surgery
• Microchip

Proof of low-income may help reduce some of these fees.

If no owner comes forward, the animal will be assessed for adoptability based on their behavioral and medical conditions. The animal may be placed up for adoption, transferred to one of our rescue partners or humanely euthanized. If deemed adoptable, they will be posted to our Adoptable Animals page.
