What do I do if I've lost or found an animal?


In Grinnell:
  • contact the police department at 641-236-2650 to leave a report.
  • call KGRN at 641-236-1410 and have the animal listed on "Dog Gone" (for any type of pet)
  • List the pet in the Pennysaver & Poweshiek County C-R 641-236-5611
  • List the pet in the Grinnell Herald Register 641-236-3113
  • List your pet here: leave a comment with contact info, call 641-236-4288 or email palsiowa@pcpartner.net We can add photographs if they are digital (no scanning)

If you have found a pet, the police will pick up the animal and take it to Northside Vet Clinic. The clinic will hold the animal for 7 days. If you prefer, you may care for the pet yourself until an owner is found, but do leave a report with the police department.

If your lost pet has been picked up and taken to the clinic: To redeem your pet from the clinic you will need your pet's current rabies vaccination certificate. If you cannot provide proof of vaccination, your pet will need to be vaccinated before leaving the clinic. You will also need to pay an impound fee in order to claim your pet. Unclaimed animals may be released to PALS, if PALS has space.
