Report a Found Pet
Thank you for helping a lost pet. If you’ve found a stray dog, cat or other animal, posting a free found pet listing is one of the fastest ways to reach a worried owner who is searching right now. It only takes a couple of minutes.
What to include in your found pet listing
- A clear photo of the pet you found.
- Pet type and colour (dog, cat or other).
- Where and when you found the pet.
- Whether it had a collar or tag — but avoid posting full ID details publicly.
- How the owner can reach you to verify and arrange a reunion.
After you post
Share your listing link with local community groups, neighbours and nearby shelters. Check the recent listings regularly and update your post if anything changes.

Should I take the found pet to a vet?
If it’s safe, ask a nearby vet or shelter to scan for a microchip — that’s often the quickest route back to the owner.
How do I confirm I’ve found the right owner?
