If your pet is missing don’t forget to file a lost report with NHS and view animals reported found.
The Nebraska Humane Society provides municipal pound services for Omaha, Ralston, La Vista, Papillion, Bellevue, Gretna, Springfield and Sarpy County. If you live in these areas, it’s likely your stray animal will end up with us.
Stray animals found in Omaha, Douglas County, Ralston, and outside of our animal control service areas will be held for 3 days. Strays found in Sarpy County cities will be held for 5 days.
*Stray Pet Reclaim opens every day at Noon.
Please Note: *Submitting a lost report does not guarantee that we will call you if your pet comes in. Unless the pet is microchipped or has a valid ID tag on its collar when found, we may not know it is your pet. We recommend you physically come to the shelter daily to look for your lost pet.
If your animal has been brought to the Nebraska Humane Society by a good samaritan or animal control, you may reclaim it at our main location at 8929 Fort Street in Omaha, NE. Our lost and found area is open weekdays from noon to 7 p.m. and weekends from noon to 5 p.m.
If you would prefer to submit a lost report over the phone or have questions about your lost or found pet, please call 402-905-3410.
Even after filling out a lost report, please continue to visit the shelter and website daily.
Bookmark the NHS website and be on a constant lookout for your animal. Our lost and found section is updated every 30 minutes for your convenience. If you've lost an animal, check both the Animals Located at the Shelter section and the Animals Reported Found by the Public section. Your animal could potentially be in either area.
Don’t rely solely on our website for determining if your pet is at the shelter. Continue to visit the Nebraska Humane Society and do a walkthrough of our kennels. In the unfortunate circumstance that you don’t find your pet, our Lost & Found staff can assist you with a listing of animals that were brought in deceased and/or severely injured.
REMEMBER: Lost and Found Reports are retained for 30 days. If you need the report extended, please call 402-905-3410. For reports submitted online you can extend your report by clicking the link at the bottom of your expiration notice email.
