Lost and found dogs, cats, exotic reptiles and domestic birds are frequently reported to this department. When reporting a lost or found animal, please be sure to leave your name, phone number, address, location where the animal was found or lost from, and a description of the animal. During our off duty hours the Police Department will do its best to assist, holding strays brought to the station until Animal Control is back on duty. If a stray is wearing a Dennis dog license the Police Department will offer the finder the dog owner's contact information, often connecting finders with owners through the dog licensing system.
