Lost and Found thread. **No Personal Contact Details **

As suggested by Junkyard.



For lost animals:
Ideally post Animal type,When it was last seen,pictures any other relevant information.

For Found animals please post:
Animal type,Where you found it,any tags etc on the animal,contact information-preferably PMs and not mobile numbers.

Just one thing though--to keep the tread clean could we have just one post per lost pet and not make the thread into a discussion unless its to woth it being seen somewhere or other relevant info.
And if you find your pet or find the owner of the lost pet please let one of the mods know so that we can remove the post from the thread.
Just to keep it all nice and tidy.

Be aware that giving a lost animal to a pound will mean by Law this dog has only 5 days to be reclaimed by owner before being euthanased in most cases.Giving to a veterinary practice does not automatically mean they won't be handed to a Pound either.
By Law you are not free to rehome/keep an animal for 366 days if you avoid the Pound route.



Be aware we can't link to Rescues but that is covered in our Umbrella list of rescues/shelters in our Charter
