Report a Lost Pet
If your dog, cat or other pet is missing, posting a clear listing quickly gives you the best chance of a reunion. Reporting a lost pet on Lost Pets Now is free and takes just a couple of minutes. Your listing is public, searchable and easy to share with local groups and shelters.
What to include in your lost pet listing
- A clear recent photo — ideally showing the face and any distinctive markings.
- Pet type and breed (dog, cat or other) and colour.
- Where and when your pet was last seen — the neighbourhood or cross streets help.
- Any collar, tag or microchip details.
- Your contact details so someone who spots your pet can reach you fast.
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.

Yes. Creating a lost pet listing is free. Optional paid boosts can help your listing reach more people, but they are never required.
How fast does my lost pet listing go live?

What should I do besides posting online?
Search nearby, call local vets and shelters to check for a microchip, and put up flyers. Our guides walk you through each step for lost dogs and cats.
