Found A Stray Animal?

Contact your local Animal Care and Control office first. This will give you an opportunity to let the appropriate agency know that you have the animal and to provide a description to them in case the owner contacts them or use the Online form below to report the animal to the Saginaw County Animal Care and Control Center.
