Petsearch(UK) was founded in February 1990 by the late Paula and Harry Greaves of Solihull because some animals were being destroyed when their owners were unable to locate them within the statutory 7 days grace before death or resale. They felt that a central point registering all information on lost or found pets was badly needed. They offered this FREE SERVICE 7 days a week but the demand escalated to such an extent that Volunteers had to be sought for other areas and so a National Network of Petsearchers came into being.
AIMS
Principal aims are to get help for all animals and caged birds that are lost or in distress. Registers are kept, of all animals and birds that have been reported lost or found and try to match these reports so that pets can be returned to their owners. Helpful information is provided, to deal with most situations and hold telephone numbers of Rescue Centres, Vets, Wild Life experts, RSPCA etc. All Petsearchers compile their own list of numbers relevant to their area of operation.
TRACING LOST PETS
All Help Lines are run entirely voluntarily and NO CHARGE is made for the services. The task is to be a focal point where all missing or found reports are collated. These are then followed up to find a matching solution.
