Lost pet — how to find them fast

A fast, practical plan for finding a lost pet, plus the shelters and microchip registries to contact.

When a pet goes missing in Denver, speed and visibility are everything. Most lost pets are found close to home within the first day.

  1. Search the immediate area. Check nearby gardens, sheds, and quiet spots. Bring treats and a familiar item, and call calmly.
  2. Alert the microchip registry. Flag your pet as missing with the microchip database so your details are current if they're scanned.
  3. Call local shelters and vets. Phone shelters, pounds, and veterinary practices around Denver and ask them to note your pet's description.
  4. Post online and on lost-pet databases. Share clear photos in local community groups and lost-pet services.
  5. Put up visible notices. A simple poster with a photo, the area, and a contact number still works.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-pet listing for Denver so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Neon-collar Black Lab mix missing near Civic Center Park

Hey—that's me, Priya Patel. Yesterday around 3pm my dog Scout bolted from my side near Union Station, by the 16th Street Mall and the Denver Performing Arts Complex. He's a medium-sized black Labrador mix, wears a neon green reflective collar with a small bone-shaped tag that reads 'Scout.' He has a white patch on his chest and a tiny scar above his right ear, plus a slight limp in his left hind leg. I adopted him last year and he means the world to me—this has sentimental value, really hoping he’s found and safe. If you saw him or know anything, message me here; I’d really appreciate any help.

Green budgie with yellow head, blue leg band

I lost my green budgie with a bright yellow head yesterday around 3pm near the Denver Botanic Gardens, Cheesman Park area around York Street. He's small, about the size of a sparrow, and he wears a blue leg band on his left leg with 'D6' engraved. He has a tiny notch on the tip of his right wing. I've had him for over a year; he's a curious, chatty little guy and I'm really worried. If you spot him in the Denver Botanic Gardens/Cheesman Park area, email [email protected] so I can come get him quickly.

Lost friendly blue parakeet named Sky with a small leg band from a backyard in Denver.

Our beloved blue parakeet, named Sky, went missing yesterday morning from our backyard in Denver. He usually stays close by, but we haven't seen him since. Sky is about 2 years old, has a small leg band, and is really friendly. If you spot him, please let us know; our family is really worried about him.
