If you find a lost or stray domestic animal, please take care when approaching it. It might be afraid and attack you.
Here’s what you need to do if you find a stray animal.
What happens next?
We'll try to reunite the pet with its owner.
If we can’t find the owner, we’ll try to find a new loving home for the animal through our pet adoption service.
Please remember it is against the law to keep an animal that you find.
