If anyone follows any of the public pet pages on Facebook such as the Imperial Valley: Lost and Found Pets or if anyone has been at the Humane Society of Imperial County right at opening (2 p.m.), you will quickly learn that Imperial Valley is full of lost pets. Unfortunately, many of these lost pets are never reunited with their families. When they are found roaming the streets, many are picked up by animal control officers. Each city has its own animal control department, and there is also a department for the unincorporated cities and the unincorporated areas of each city.
