Reclaiming a Lost Pet

Lost a pet? Due to the high number of animals that enter our facilities every day we recommend that owners visit the Trenton Center in person to look for their lost pet. Our staff will not be able to find your lost pet over the phone or by email or Facebook message.

We do require this information before releasing any pet. This is for your safety as well as ours to protect getting pets returned to their rightful owner.
