If your constituent has lost a pet, they can call the RSPCA’s 24-hour cruelty and advice line 0300 1234 999 to provide us with details for our lost and found register. If someone then finds the pet and contacts us, we will have the information we need to try and reunite them with their owner.
If they have lost a dog they should contact their local council’s dog warden. They could contact their local veterinary surgeries, animal centres, and the police. They could also try putting up posters in the area with a picture of their pet, and advertising in newsagents, schools and local newspapers.
Having pets microchipped or bringing back the dog licence to improve traceability would make any future searches easier.
