LOST DOGS UK

Website of Lost & Stolen Dogs in the UK and Eire

We are here to help you!  If you find a dog, you can check its description against the ones on these pages. If you have lost a dog or had one stolen, you can contact us and we will list it here, free of charge.

Help find these Lost Dogs - you might need help one day

In the interests of space, all dogs missing for over six months have been removed unless the owners specifically asked us to leave them on. Please help keep the site manageable by telling us when your dog is recovered


If you have found a dog use this search engine to see if it matches the description of any of the dogs listed as missing with us - the owners will be very pleased to hear from you if you find their dog. Type the Breed you have found or are missing and click on 'FIND' - this will bring up a list of possible dogs which you can further identify by colour or by other details using 'REFINE'


powered by FreeFind

If you think you have information which could help recover individually submitted dogs, you should make direct contact with the owner, the local police or the Webmasters.
LurcherSearch co-ordinator, Jane, can be reached on 01598 753 563 or you can email kaye@lurcher.org

To help others help you find your Lost Dogs

Please, think carefully about whether you wish your phone number included as we cannot take any responsibility for calls you may receive, and then give us as much information as possible.

Have a look at 'TIPS' to see the kind of information which will be most helpful and then use our submission form.

We can also include photographs - if they are sent in acceptable format

Click here to send photographs ONLY in .jpg format. They should be no larger than 30 - 50 Kb. If a photo takes longer than  5 - 10 seconds to upload then it is too big. Please cancel upload and make the photo smaller. You can email for instructions on how to do this.

We apologise if you find this restrictive but we pay our phone bills to enable you to publish details of your lost dog
