What to Do If You Found a DogFrequently asked questions
What should I do if I found a dog in Newark?
Keep the dog safe if you can, check for a collar or tag, contact local shelters or a vet for a microchip scan, and post a found dog alert with a photo and the location.
Where should I take a found dog?
If the dog is friendly, contact a nearby vet or shelter for a microchip scan — most dogs are reunited that way. If the dog is injured, take them to a vet first.
How should I describe the found dog in the alert?
Include the location and time you found them, color, size, breed if you can tell, collar or tag details, and whether they have any visible injuries. A clear photo matters most.
What if the dog seems scared or aggressive?
Do not chase or corner them. Call your local animal control or a shelter — they have safe tools and training. Post a found dog alert with the exact location so the owner can search the area.
