Scammers are contacting owners of lost pets in our area, claiming their pet has been found needing surgery and demanding immediate payment. Some are using AI-generated images of an animal in surgery as “proof.”

THESE ARE SCAMS!

RASKC will NEVER ask you for payment by phone or text to treat your sick or injured pet! DO NOT send money, provide bank or card info, or use payment apps.

If you think your lost pet is in our shelter, visit kingcounty.gov/LostAPet or stop by in person weekdays from noon to 6 p.m. or weekends noon to 5 p.m. We’re located at 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent.
