Call local animal control and shelters or vet clinics where they take pets. Don’t rely on e-mail as your only method of contact. Go to your area’s shelter and see if your pet is there. Also call any other local vet clinics, animal control for bordering cities, and other major animal shelters. Ask how often you should call back to update your report (at Great Plains SPCA, lost reports are automatically cleared from our database after 30 days).
Animal control organizations for Overland Park, Leawood, Lenexa, Lake Quivira, Shawnee, and Johnson County Parks Department take their animals to Great Plains SPCA at (913) 742-7329.
The City of Merriam has made the decision to no longer contract with GPSPCA as its holding facility for stray/lost/found pets. Citizens will need to contact the Merriam Police department with any stray animal concerns or reports of lost or found pets.
