Lost a Pet

Lost Pet Shelter

We're here to help!

We receive a high number of animals in at our shelter and understand that losing a pet can be a very stressful experience. In this guide, we want to give you resources that you can use to help your pet get home to you faster.

  1. Fill out our Lost Pet Form below
  2. If you have not yet provided one, please send a photo of your missing animal to info@hsccl.org within 24 hours.

  3. Visit our main shelter location to see if your animal is here.

    Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake
    10200 CR 2403
    Tool, TX 75143

  4. Review HSCCL Found Animal Photos to see if a pet matching your description has come in.

Please note: Due to the high number of pets we receive we are unable to make a promise to contact you if one fitting your pet's description enters our care, and submission of a Lost Pet Report does not guarantee that you will be contacted if your missing pet is impounded at HSCCL.

You assume responsibility for following up on the receipt of this Lost Pet Report, reviewing HSCCL's found animal photos, and visiting as often as possible (we suggest daily or on staggered days) to find your pet before it becomes available for adoption. If you have not yet provided one, please send a photo of your missing animal to info@hsccl.org within 24 hours. Lost Pet Reports are kept on file for 30 days. If your pet is still missing after 30 days please file a new report.
