Project Safe Pets for the Upper Gulf Coast

Have you ever lost one of your pets? If you have, you know it's the worst feeling in the world. Are they injured? Are they roaming in unfamiliar territory, trying to find their way home? Are they terrified? As terrified as you are, worrying about them?

What about the other side of the coin. Have you ever found a dog or cat, well-cared for, loving...a pet you know has a home somewhere...but where? It's a helpless feeling.

When we've lost a member of our family - or found someone else's - we will do everything possible to make sure they're returned to the home they love.

Thanks to WALA FOX 10 and WPPG The Gulf Coast CW, we now have another tool to help us make that happen. Project Safe Pets was launched on April 1st of this year at Fox10. This page shows pertinent information regarding lost and/or found pets at no charge and is available to the public and all local rescue shelters who currently house animals waiting for adoption.

Project Safe Pets will allow families searching for their lost pets to see if they've been located somewhere along the Gulf Coast. It will help finders of lost dogs and cats reunite them with their owners. And just as importantly, local shelters will be able to upload information weekly on pets available for adoption. Seven million dogs and cats enter shelters each year across the United States and a large number of these animals are there simply because they couldn't find their way home.

This site serves as a public service to our communitity and contains useful information about the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. The fewer unwanted dogs and cats, the fewer end up on the streets, over-running our shelters, burdening our neighborhoods, and placing hardships - both financial and emotional - on our area.

We owe a big thank you to WALA FOX 10 and WBPG for Project Safe Pets.
