If you have lost your pet, you can visit our FOUND Animal page to see the animals we currently have in Animal Control. Animals at Animal Control are visible to the public for 30 days upon arrival.

Due to the lack of kenneling area, animals found by Torrance Animal Control can only be held at Animal Control for 5 days before being relocated to the LA County Shelter in Carson.

Also, check online at Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control for your lost pet.

Lost your pet? Here are some things to do:

• Check the City of Torrance Official website.  A list of Found Animals is posted for 30 days.

• Contact your pet’s microchip company. This information can be found in your paperwork when your pet is microchipped or adopted. The microchip company can blast your pet’s information to shelters and veterinary offices around the area where your pet was lost, as well as contact you if someone calls with your found pet.
• Report your missing pet and search for a match on the pet locator websites provided on this page.
• Create a LOST PET flyer and post/distribute around your community and local area as well as social media platforms like Facebook and NextDoor.
• Check with veterinary hospitals, mail carriers, delivery people. It is not uncommon for a lost pet to wander for several miles, so spread the word and search at least seven blocks in any direction.
• Don't Give Up! Keep looking! Remember, many well-meaning people do not know it is unlawful to keep a stray animal and will not immediately take a lost pet to an animal care center. They may keep it at their home for several weeks hoping to find the owner on their own.

These websites are local and national lost-and-found pet databases where shelters and neighbors can post lost or found pets:
