Table Mountain serves as the shelter for all of Jefferson County. If you have lost or found a pet, call the Center. You may phone or visit the shelter to see if your pet has been recovered. Personnel at the shelter can also direct you to other helpful agencies. The more identification your pet wears (collar with rabies and I.D. tag), the better your chances are of finding your pet.
