Scan Found Animals

This morning, Scan Found Animals received a call about a black shepherd wandering alone near a park in Pacoima for hours. No one came for her. No microchip was found. And after a closer look… we realized this “boy” was actually a girl. 💛

She made her way to East Valley Animal Shelter, where she quietly watched other found dogs arrive — still waiting for someone to recognize her. She was named Petra.

We’re hoping her family is searching for her. But if not, she’ll need this community to help write her next chapter.

✨ Share her story
✨ Tag rescues
✨ Help her get seen

If not redeemed by her owner, she will be available for adoption on Tuesday 4/7/2026.

Tuesday morning in Reseda, Luna the fluffy Husky had the whole neighborhood watching 👀
Sightings everywhere… but no one could quite secure her.

Then a local thrift shop stepped in 💛
They grabbed a harness off the rack, kept her safe, and called Scan Found Animals.

We arrived with hope… scanned her… and YES — microchipped! 🎉
One call later, Dad was on the way and Luna was heading home.

This is what community looks like:
neighbors watching out
businesses stepping up
and microchips bringing dogs home 🐾

Thank you to everyone who helped keep Luna safe until we could get her scanned.

Another happy reunion made possible thanks to teamwork!

🆘 We Scan Found Animals are still in desperate need to help cover the cost of surgery for Quinn. We are not even near the goal. Please help us. We can not help another innocent animal that is pleading for help until Quinn gets his medical bill paid. Organizations like ours do not have thousands of dollars to pay for the medical bills of these injured animals. These animals rely on the loving community members to help them, so please for Quinn and the other injured animals. Please help us help them.🆘

Scan Found Animals is urgently raising funds to cover Quinn's emergency … Scan Found Animals needs your support for Help Cover Quinn's Emergency Surgery Costs

Bringing Quinn home ❤️

We’ve been given the green light to pick Quinn up from the vet hospital and continue her recovery in a loving home environment.

Quinn is being fostered by our Scan Found Animals Director and supported by , her amazing finders, neighbors, , and an entire community rooting for her.

Her healing journey will be about 8 weeks, focused on rest, recovery, and learning what it means to be safe and cared for indoors.

Thank you to everyone who has shared, donated, checked in, and sent love. We’ll continue accepting donations toward her surgery costs and will keep you updated every step of the way. Quinn is not alone—and that means everything.

Scan Found Animals responded to a call on Wednesday 12/18 regaeding a found dog that was injured. She was not microchipped and the shelter wasn’t an option for her in thos condition. We named her Quinn.

Quinn was found unable to walk, frightened and in pain. X-rays later confirmed the heartbreaking truth — both of her front legs were fractured. The injury was found to be intentional harm towards Quinn. She needed surgery as soon as possible.

Despite everything she’s endured, Quinn remains gentle, brave, and trusting of the people trying to help her. She didn’t give up, and neither did we.

Scan Found Animals along with Outta the Cage, stepped in so Quinn wouldn’t have to suffer alone, but her medical care and surgery come with significant costs. We’re asking our community to help us give her the chance to heal and live without pain.

If you’re able to donate, no amount is too small.
If you can’t, sharing Quinn’s story truly makes a difference.

Thank you for standing with Quinn and being part of her journey to healing 🤍🐾

This is why we scan…

Because behind every lost dog is a worried family.
Because every wagging tail deserves to go home.
Because one simple scan can change the entire story.

Every photo in this reel holds a moment we’ll never forget — a scared dog found safe, a volunteer stepping in with kindness, a reunion that brought everyone to tears. This is also just a small snippet of the many pets we scan.

Scan Found Animals is a nonprofit organization with a small team of dedicated volunteers with big hearts, who give their time, and their compassion to help lost pets find their way home. 🐾💛

If our mission speaks to you… if you believe every pet deserves to be loved, safe, and found — we invite you to support our work.

Your donation helps us continue scanning, rescuing, and reuniting families.💛🐶✨
