Oklahoma City Animal Welfare is improving its lost pet reporting system to help more pets return home quickly. The shelter implemented a new platform that allows people to search for lost or found pets using photos and detailed reports.

Community members can visit petcolovelost.org or okc.gov/animal-welfare to see if their lost pet has been reported or to report a found animal. If no matches are found, users can create a new report and check back frequently for updates.

"At OKC Animal Welfare, our primary goal is to reunite every lost animal with their family," said Crystal Slocum, Administrative Specialist of Oklahoma City Animal Welfare. "We recognize that pets are cherished members of the household, and when they go missing, their absence is deeply felt. By implementing Petco Love Lost, we are taking another meaningful step toward increasing the number of pets returned home swiftly and safely."

The system is designed to increase the likelihood of pets returning home without needing to spend time at the shelter. By giving people the ability to report and search for pets 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the program empowers the community to actively support pets in need and improve reunification rates.
