Lost/Found Pets
If you have found a stray cat or dog, or you have found a pet that appears to be “lost” DO NOT contact PACT Humane Society as we cannot directly accept them.
For DuPage County residents, contact the DuPage County Animal Control center in Wheaton, or contact your local police department’s non-emergency number.
We also recommend that you contact DCAC for pets that were not originally adopted from PACT, but that are in need of a new home.
We are unable to provide short term or long term foster care services for pets whose owners are no longer able to care for them.
