Lost & Found Pets
Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime? That’s why we’re partnering with Petco Love Lost, a free, easy-to-use national resource that uses patented pet facial recognition technology to help lost pets reunite with their families.
If you lost or found a pet, simply upload a photo to the Petco Love Lost database, and the system will search for matches across a network of over 170,000 lost and found pets that is supported by a network of animal shelters and rescue organizations across the country (including Brooklyn Animal Action).
Join us in the fight to reunite lost pets with their families. Visit. petcolovelost.org to learn more and get started.
Found Baby or Injured Birds
What should you do if you find a baby or injured bird or animal in your neighborhood? Here is some information from wildlife experts, and links to organizations that may be able to help.
Emergency Resources
*If you are experiencing domestic violence and are worried about your pet, please reach out to the Urban Resource Institute’s People and Animals Living Safely (URIPALS) program for resources that may be able to help.
*If you are worried about a “no-pets” clause in an apartment lease, please consult this guide: Keeping Your Pet in a NYC Apartment. It contains information about your options, including using the Pet Law to your advantage. (The “Pet Law” states that any resident who openly keeps an animal in their apartment for 3 months or longer is entitled to keep that pet. Please consult the guide for more information.)
*If you are a senior who needs help with pet care: For those based in Queens – contact the Sunnyside Community Services Pet Pals program (designed for home-bound seniors) to receive help with basic pet needs such as buying pet food, walking your pet, or grooming.
