I've lost my dog

Losing a dog can be very worrying, but it's important to act quickly.

Microchip details

It's essential that your dog's microchip details are up to date. This can be done online or by phone.

If you do not know which microchip company your dog is registered with, you can as long as you have your pet's microchip number.

Next steps

Report your dog missing online

Alternatively, phone Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dog Warden on 0121 303 6007.

  • If you lose your dog out of hours, phone 07500 553 000 (Â鶹ÊÓƵ only).
  • Contact Â鶹ÊÓƵ Dogs Home or phone 0121 643 5211.
    The dogs' home are the contracted stray dog kennels for Â鶹ÊÓƵ. We suggest you also visit their kennels.
  • Contact your local vet, as your dog may have been handed in.
  • Phone the RSPCA on 0300 123 8585.
    Injured lost dogs are sometimes taken there.
  • Contact any local animal rescue group in your area.
  • Phone the police on 101 - they may have a record of sightings.
  • If your dog has been stolen, you must call the police and get a crime reference number.
  • Phone the other councils close to your home, if you live on the outskirts of Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
  • Make a poster with a good photograph and take to local places such as shops, pet shops and local vets.

Make sure that you give accurate advice of what your dog looks like. Pedigree dogs are generally easy to recognise, but crossbreeds can be difficult.
