Many pets are found by neighbors within close proximity to the pet's home. Bringing the found pet to the shelter should be the last resort. We need community members to assist us in limiting shelter intakes to animals that are truly homeless or suffering and those that represent public safety concerns.
You can also view the photos and profiles below to see if your pet has been taken in at Animal Services. However, all animals may not be included, so we recommend that you check this page frequently for new photo uploads and visit the facility in person every couple of days.
If you have lost a pet, use this page to see found pets in our system.
Before falling in love with a pet, make sure you familiarize yourself with the adoption process, fees, and other information provided here.
Rochester Animal Services (RAS) envisions a community where our neighbors are empowered to stay together with their pets, have a central destination to find a new pet; where neighborhoods are enhanced through pet ownership, and lost pets are kept safe and nurtured.
Rochester Animal Services is teaming up with Rochester Woman Online to hold an amazing fee-waived adoption event and celebration of the shelter.
