Gloucester Township Police Finding Lost Pets Using Social Media

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Gloucester Township police are launching a new social media initiative to help reunite residents with their lost pets.

Gloucester Township police said they have continually come across many animals, especially dogs, who have escaped their homes and yards. They would post about them on the police department’s social media pages.

Those posts have become very popular over the years, police said. As a result, they have decided to launch the Gloucester Township PD Lost And Found Animals Facebook page. It launched on Nov. 4, and police have posted about a couple of missing dogs since.

Whenever an officer finds an animal, the officer will transport the animal(s) to Homeward Bound (Formerly the Camden County Animal Shelter), 125 County House Road, Lakeland, NJ 08012. For additional information, visit https://homewardboundnj.org/ or their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HomewardBoundPetAdoptionCenter.

All Gloucester Township residents are reminded that they must obtain a license for their dog(s) or cat(s) with the Township Clerk per Local Ordinance 47-2. For more information, visit: https://glotwp.com/department/municipal-clerk/.
