Lost and Found Pets
If you find a dog or cat, you can check for free to see if they have a chip. The Humane Society, Pima Animal Control, and most (if not all) Vets will do it for free. Also, the Petsmarts at Pantano & Broadway & the one at Oracle & Wetmore will scan for free. Our Petsmart at Swan and Grant does not do it. MAP OF FOUND PETS FROM PACC

Coyotes live in our easements and travel
and hunt in our neighborhood.
Never allow your pets to run free! The Arizona Game & Fish Department notes, "If you see a coyote near your home, don't ignore it. This may cause it to lose its natural fear of people, which can eventually lead to aggressive behavior.
To discourage a coyote, immediately:
* Make loud noises.
* Shout and bang pots and pans or rattle empty soda cans with pebbles in it (coyote shaker).
* Wave your hands or objects like sticks and brooms.
* Throw small stones or cans.
* Spray the coyote with a hose.
* Use a commercial repellent like Mace, if necessary, on bold animals that refuse to leave."
Unless it is an emergency, DO NOT kill a wild animal. A valid hunting license is usually required to kill predators such as coyotes, and state law bans firing a gun within a quarter-mile of an occupied residence or building while taking wildlife, unless you have the owner's permission. Also shooting firearms within city limits can carry felony charges.
If you feel a wild animal presents a threat (e.g., aggressive, approaching a person, biting, or growling and snarling) call the AZ Game & Fish Department Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at (520) 628-5376. After hours and weekends, a radio dispatcher is available at (623) 236-7201.
Also, see The Arizona Game & Fish Department's "Living With Coyotes" brochure.
