What should I do if I have found a stray animal?
If you have found a dog or cat, please call Fernley Animal Control at 775.784.9801. We will take a found animal report so that, if the owner calls to report a lost animal, we can put them in touch with you.

We can make arrangements to pick up a stray dog and take it to our designated shelter, Lyon County Animal Services in Silver Springs. We cannot pick up lost cats but we will try to maintain lists of both lost and found cats to possibly reunite the cat with its owner.
