1. Contact the dog warden’s office at (419) 334-2372. Our office will fill out a lost dog report. Give us the most detailed description of your dog possible. The more you can tell us about your dog, the easier identification will be for us. We receive almost 700 dogs per year, and detailed descriptions are a must! If your dog has a microchip, please give us the number. We scan all dogs that come into our shelter. The color of the collar is also extremely helpful.
LOST DOG FORM: This form may be downloaded and mailed to: Sandusky County Dog Warden, 1950 Countryside Place, Fremont, Ohio 43420. You may also send e-mail to: scdandk@glis.cc. PICTURES OF YOUR DOG ARE WELCOME.
2. Visit our shelter to look for your dog. Our employees work very hard to help identify your dog, but many dogs look a great deal alike. Also, every dog that is brought to our kennel is scanned for a microchip, and compared to all lost dog reports on hand before the impoundment is complete.
3. Contact your local newspaper and place an advertisement in the classified ads.
4. Contact the Humane Society at (419) 334-4517.
An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a POUND of Cure.
To Prevent Losing Your Dog:
- Attach tag to collar.
- Check chains, fences, and invisible fence mechanisms regularly.
- Take the time to spend 6-10 weeks in an obedience class with your dog. You will have a better companion for your time. Your dog will listen and obey you.
