Lost & Found
MCACC operates two Centers that provide lost, found and adoption services for stray and unwanted dogs and cats. Due to the large volume of animals we care for and variation in descriptions, we are unable to tell you over the phone or by email if we have your pet in our care. As we don’t want to give you wrong information, please visit our Care Centers every two days to look for your lost pet: 2500 S. 27th Avenue in Phoenix and 2630 W. 8th Street in Mesa.

Other places to look for your lost pet:
- Arizona Humane Society (602) 997-7585
- Pet Finder
- Post flyers in the neighborhood where the pet was lost. Ask elementary schools in your area if you can post a flyer - kids often notice animals. Feel free to use our Sample Flyer.
- Talk to your neighbors, letter carrier, and paper deliverer to see if anyone has spotted your pet.
- Place an ad in the local paper and offer a reward. Also check the found ads.
- Most important, keep looking for at least ten days. Many pets are found by members of the public who may not bring the animal in to a shelter for several days.
