Losing track of your pet can be extremely scary. You can now submit lost (and found pet) reports via Norfolk Cares. When completing a lost pet report, pictures can make all the difference. Make sure you have up to date pictures of your pet as well as any defining characteristics.

We can get your pet back home even quicker if they have a collar or microchip with up-to-date contact information on it.

Hello dear friends! Come meet the legend that is Kyng, the Most Interesting Dog in the World.

His foster family shares, "Behind this mystery lies a tender soul who is currently mastering the art of trust, unlocking the secrets of the perfect cuddle, and already holds a PhD in giving exceptional kisses. He is a connoisseur of all treats. Know that Kyng has the brains & beauty by being kennel trained, sitting on command, and is, quite frankly, absolutely gorgeous. He survived a very serious past, proving that he doesn't just adapt—he conquers. Kyng embraces the VIP Status: He thrives as an only dog because a presence this magnificent simply cannot be shared. Are you ready to upgrade your life? If you are interested in adopting the legend himself, reach out to Norfolk Animal Care Center and set up a meet and greet. Kyng is not just a dog; he is an experience. Animal ID: A0060693234"
