Lost and Found Pets

Animal Search UK is a completely free service relying on public donations only.

Alternatively, Pets Located.com is free for those reporting a found animal and anyone wishing to log a lost pet is asked for a fee of £10+VAT to use the service for 12 months, which includes posting details of the lost pet online and on social media and the facility to create your own ‘lost pet’ poster, as well as giving access to the database of found pets.

People should continue to check with local services such as dog wardens and vets if their pet becomes lost.

The RSPCA also recommends microchipping animals as one of the best ways of being reunited with a pet if it goes missing.

Useful Contacts

Your local authority will have the name, address and telephone number of the holding kennels and may know of other animal rescue organisations in your area. Its a good idea to visit them every day if possible – especially if they deal with very large numbers of strays.

Please remember to inform everyone if a lost animal is found or a found animal has been reunited with his/her family.

Cats, Dogs and other Animals

  • All your local rescues and shelters
  • All the vets in your area www.any-uk-vet.co.uk
