The Gilroy Police Department Animal Control currently has six kennels to house found dogs. If you are missing a dog, contact us at the non-emergency number (408)846-0350.

The police department has a list of lost and found pets. Anyone losing or finding a pet should contact Gilroy Police Department at (408)846-0350 with the description of the pet (including breed, color, sex, size, collar, tags, eye color, identifying marks, etc.), your name, address, and phone number. We will add this information to our lost-and-found logbook.

We hope, in the future, to provide a lost and found animal listing on this page. We will reunite owners with their pets whenever possible.

Please license and chip your pet to give it a better chance to make it back home again if it gets lost!!
