Have you found a pet?

• Please post to our Lost & Found group on Facebook in order to notify us and try to find the animals’ owners.

• Please include a photo and the road name and area in which you have found the animal, as this makes it quicker and easier for us to find a volunteer to assist you if needed!

• We will ask a volunteer to scan the animal for a microchip. Alternatively, if it is safe to do so, you can take the animal to any vet to scan.

• If you have found a dog, please check the collar, if there is one, for identifying information.

• Please contain the dog if it is safe to do so, i.e., the dog is friendly, and call your local dog warden. The phone number will vary depending on your area – you will find it on your local council’s website.

• If you are taking the dog into your home to wait for the warden, please do not put your own animals at risk and keep them separate from each other.

• If you have found a cat, please check the collar, if there is one, for identifying information.

• If a microchip has not been found either by one of our volunteers or a vet, and the cat is in good health, you will need to apply a paper/temporary collar and release the cat back where you found it, if safe to do so.

• A paper collar is a strip of paper with your phone number on, attached with sellotape at either end. You can also attach a note to a collar in the same fashion if the cat is already wearing one.
