The lost pet hotline is a listing of animals picked up daily by the City of North Richland Hills. The hotline is updated at the close of each business day with a listing of lost pets picked up that day. If you have lost a pet, please do not rely solely on the Lost Pet hotline. We encourage you to also come to the NRH Animal Adoption & Rescue Center to look for your pet.
