S 154 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to developing a database for missing domestic animals

S 154 requires New York's Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets to create a searchable online database for lost and found domestic animals. The database will include animal type, name, photo, location (county), and other helpful details, while keeping owners' contact information private within the department. Pet owners and animal shelters will use this resource to reconnect missing pets, with the website also providing practical recovery tips like using microchips and avoiding scams. The database will be updated with public information and retain entries for three years. This bill directly affects New Yorkers who own pets or care for lost animals.
