To support reunifications, San Diego Humane Society is waiving all pet reclaim fees through Tuesday at its campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside and San Diego.

Pet owners looking for a missing animal can search the shelter's lost and found page at sdhumane.org/lost or text "LOST" to 858-SAN-LOST for guidance on the recovery process.

The organization said 253 stray pets were brought to its shelters from July 4-7 last year. Of those, only 84 animals were reclaimed by their owners.
