About Us

The Lost Dog Search & Rescue Team is a Ocean County NJ based 501c3 Non-Profit community organization dedicated to help re-unite lost dogs with their owners FREE of charge in the Toms River and surrounding areas in Ocean County NJ.  For those dogs that we find that have been abandoned and dumped, we will give shelter, medical attention, rehabilitation & love  and then find them forever homes.

 

     

The Lost Dog Search & Rescue groups main goal is to help find and reunite lost dogs with their owners. We do not just post a lost dog but in certain areas of Ocean County we will, at the owners request, go out and search for their dog. We are a Community oriented Group and do NOT charge for what we do.

Our second goal, as time and space allows, is to take in dogs that have been abandoned, classified as un-adoptable or have behavioral or medical issues that would cause a dog to be on the euthanasia list to either keep safe and care for till its time for them to cross the Rainbow Bridge or rehabilitate and adopt out. This is why you do not see a lot of adoptions come from our rescue. We do this strictly for the benefit of the dog!

We now offer a Certified Scent dog, Raven our King Shepherd.  Aurora our Doberman is still in training. Scent Dogs are only used when deemed necessary and will not be used on every search

The Lost Dog Search Group was formed is because we know the helpless feeling you get when your dog goes missing and if there is no one around to help that helpless feeling turns into desperation. We want to help, maybe we can make a difference. Why We Started "I Lost My Dog"   

 

Please post your lost dog on these Facebook sites so others may help

We are proud to have help equip our Fire Department, The Manitou Park Volunteer Fire Company, Station 18 with 5 Wag'n for Life Pet Oxygen Masks, through a successful fund raiser.

 

We are also "Professional" Pet Sitters - (Loving Touch Pet Sitters) and our goal is to provide the highest quality care (at your home) for pets that are entrusted to us.  To give peace of mind for all clients in need of care for their pets.  We provide this service because we love to care for animals.  We are passionate about our business and are fully insured.  We enjoy the love and care we provide for our clients' family pets and enjoy the love and affection they give back to us. 

  Our love for Gods creatures is not just confined to house pets but to the great outdoors also. To look out your window and see the beauty that is all around us is truly a joy. So we decided to create a Wild Life Project or Outside Backyard Habitat to bring some of the wildlife home. We are also affiliated with some of the largest online pet stores around, Dog.com for the lowest priced products for all your pets needs, guaranteed!

What a GREAT honor and surprise for the Lost Dog Search & Rescue Team from our very own Daisy Troop 201 from South Toms River Elementary School presenting us with a collection of food, toys treats and blankets for the dogs we rescue. This is, for me, the biggest honor since we started our group. Roxie came along to show how sweet dogs can be. Daisy Troop 201, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
