First check for a collar or tag and try reaching the animal’s owner.

If you can’t get in touch with the owner or there is no collar or tag have the animal scanned for a microchip at your nearest vet clinic.

If the animal is injured, please have them seen by a vet immediately. You can locate an emergency vet clinic under the ‘medical’ tab located above.
