Pet's become part of our family; they are like our furry children.

The hardest part about animals sometimes is their desire to explore, which sometimes leads to an escape and they can't find their way back home.

Thankfully Grand Junction has set up solutions to help you find your furry friend if he or she goes missing.

There is a Facebook Page: Mesa County Lost and Found Pets. This page allows you to post pictures of pets you have lost or animals you have found.

There is another Facebook Page: Lost and Found Pets of Mesa County & Western Colorado. This is a particular good page for pets that can wander outside of the Grand Junction City limits.

There is also a Mesa County Animal Services website that gives you another place to look here in the Grand Valley.

Hope this helps to ensure that furry friend of yours remains safely at home. Add to this list if you know of other places to post lost/found pets.
