Bearded dragon found near PetSmart
Description
I found a bearded dragon this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the PetSmart on Columbia Center Boulevard in Kennewick. It's about 8-9 inches long from snout to tail, tan with orange stripes along the back, and its eyes are bright green. It was wandering loose but seems calm, and I set it inside a temporary towel-lined tote with a small portable heat lamp to keep it warm. It has a small notch above the left nostril and a faint blue marbling along the tail—one or two unique features I noticed. If this is your pet, please message me and describe its enclosure and any identifying marks so we can get it home safely.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
