Bringing a ray of hope to those who've felt the pang of a missing furry member, Tulsa Animal Services (TAS) is set to enhance the chances of family reunions for lost pets with their innovative online Lost Pet Map. According to a press release from the City of Tulsa, the service provides residents with an interactive map that shows real-time data on pet intakes and lost reports from the past three months. This new tool is a digital beacon for pet owners searching for their lost companions in the Tulsa area.
Sherri Carrier, Director of Tulsa Animal Services, emphasized the emotional toll of losing a pet, stating, "Our mission is to reunite families with their pets and reduce the stress and heartbreak that comes with losing a companion animal," as stated by the City of Tulsa. The map is hailed as an increase to transparency and a simplification of the process for pet owners to take immediate action during such stressful times. Meanwhile, Laurel Roberts, Tulsa Public Safety Commissioner, highlighted that lost pets are not just an animal welfare issue, they're public safety concern and a community issue.
The service works in a user-friendly way: individuals can search for recent pet intakes and lost pets on the map, report their own missing animals, and even connect directly with people who may have found their pet. The website includes instructional videos and forms for reporting lost pets, explaining the entirety of the process in detail for users, as per the City of Tulsa.
Tulsa Animal Services offers a suite of resources for pet owners, from the Lost Pet Map to a list of adoptable animals, ensuring the stray animal or the new friend you might be looking for comes within reach. They're committed to caring for thousands of pets each year while working diligently to ensure lost pets return to their home and adoptable animals find new forever homes. For assistance or more information, City of Tulsa residents can visit their website or reach out directly to the contact number provided on their site.
