HAVE YOU FOUND A
LOST PET?

Minnesota state law requires that Crossroads Animal Shelter board and advertise stray pets for a minimum of

5 business days in an attempt to locate the pet’s owner.

 If you are able and willing to provide care and shelter for the stray animal, Crossroads will gladly provide you with supplies 

(food & bedding) until we can schedule you an intake appointment - please note that this can take up to 2-3 weeks on average.

 

We are a small, non-profit shelter and our intake is limited by our ability to provide the care and attention every animal needs.

 Crossroads Animal Shelter charges $50 per stray animal.

​

Some cities choose to contract with other stray holding facilities, covering whatever fees those facilities charge.

There are some cities, counties and townships that do not help the stray animals found in their jurisdiction, leaving the burden of the

stray fee to the individuals who have found the stray pets.

​

If you find a stray pet in one of these areas, we strongly recommend that you contact the city, county or township officials in the area

that you found this stray pet and encourage them to add allowances for stray animals to their annual budget so that

stray fees do not fall on you, the person trying to help, or anyone else in the community.

​

If you have lost a pet, please send us an email at            info@crossroadsshelter.org along with a photo of the animal.

​

We will get back to you as quickly as we can.
