PLEASE READ the following about Found Pets (eff. 5/8/23)

We are ecstatic that we adopted out 4 animals on 5/8/23, however, we also took in 4 animals. Prior to the adoptions and intakes yesterday, CCHS was full. We are still full. We have 64 dog kennels and some of them are doubled up. Due to our over capacity, we also have 5 dogs in crates. That's not how a dog should live. Our cat population is the same - out of bounds.

Until some animals are adopted out, CCHS will only be taking in animals in an emergency situation.

If you find a lost pet, please do the following:

take a photo

share the photo on Brazil Lost and Found Pets and Clay Co Lost and Found Pets

and with us. We are always happy to post photos of found or missing pets on our Facebook page - please include a photo and the address/cross streets where the pet was found.

If it's safe and you're able to contain the pet, please do. We are also happy to scan any found pet for a microhip, but at this time we are not able to keep them. Many times we ask finders to hold on to the pet for a couple of days and an owner is found. On Fri., 4/28, we shared photos submitted to us of 3 found or missing pets. Before the end of the day, ALL 3 were reunited with their owners without entering the shelter. We'd like to thank the finders for containing these pets, sharing photos and info. with us to post and posting on other FB pages.

Please call us FIRST, before bringing in any found pet: 812-446-5126.
