What do I do if My Animal is Lost/Missing/Impounded?

If your animal is lost, missing or if you suspect it has been impounded for running at large, we encourage you to monitor the Department’s Facebook or Twitter pages, as we post any photographs of animals that have been picked up by our officers and taken to the Pet Adoption Center.

You will need to contact the Pet Adoption Center at (636) 949-7387 to see if they have an animal matching the description of your lost pet.
