When a dog has wandered from home and is found wearing a County Animal Control license, anyone with Web access can now enter the license number and find the name and phone number of the owner. This will provide many dogs with a quick trip home and will give families peace of mind more quickly than before.
Families feel the loss of their pets very deeply and the pet also loses a loving home.
We hope that providing easy access to this information will result in fewer lost pets in San Diego County. For owners who have requested that their information remain private, the Web site user is instructed to call the shelter so that the owner may be contacted. The important thing to keep in mind is that the dog license is the key. County Animal Control will run licensing clinics on Oct. 7 at all three County shelters and at the Escondido Humane Society.
