Found Animal Procedures

Lost Cats

If you have found a cat that appears to be lost, please bring it to the shelter. We can check for a microchip and put the cat on public display so the owner can find their cat when they are looking at the shelter.

Lost Dogs


The City of Russellville no longer issues animal licenses. If you have found a dog that is wearing a license from another agency, even out of state, please let us know. We would like to help reunite that dog with its family as quickly as possible. In addition, if you bring the dog to the shelter, we can check for a microchip and put the dog on public display so the owner can find their dog when they are looking at the shelter.
