Lost pet — how to find them fast

A fast, practical plan for finding a lost pet, plus the shelters and microchip registries to contact.

When a pet goes missing in East Midlands, speed and visibility are everything. Most lost pets are found close to home within the first day.

  1. Search the immediate area. Check nearby gardens, sheds, and quiet spots. Bring treats and a familiar item, and call calmly.
  2. Alert the microchip registry. Flag your pet as missing with the microchip database so your details are current if they're scanned.
  3. Call local shelters and vets. Phone shelters, pounds, and veterinary practices around East Midlands and ask them to note your pet's description.
  4. Post online and on lost-pet databases. Share clear photos in local community groups and lost-pet services.
  5. Put up visible notices. A simple poster with a photo, the area, and a contact number still works.
  6. Post a listing. Add a lost-pet listing for East Midlands so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Pink dog harness with reflective stripes and paw charm

I lost my pink dog harness yesterday around 3pm near the intu Victoria Centre on Wheeler Gate in Nottingham, East Midlands. It's a size large Rabbitgoo harness, vivid neon pink with reflective silver stripes and a heavy black quick-release buckle. There's a tiny paw-print charm hanging from the D-ring and a name tag that says 'Roxy' with my phone number on the back. The fabric is a bit faded from daily use but still structurally fine. It has sentimental value because it's the only harness that fits my rescue dog, and I really need it back. If you find it, please message me here and I can collect from the Nottingham city centre area.

Golden retriever mix with blue collar

Hey, I lost my golden retriever mix yesterday around 3pm near the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre in Nottingham city centre, by Canal Street and Maid Marian Way. Milo is about 22 inches tall with a golden coat, a white chest patch, and a blue nylon collar with a brass name tag that reads MILO. He has a small scar on his right ear from a playful tumble. I'm really worried—he's super friendly but tends to bolt if he hears fast footsteps, and he means the world to us.

Lost golden retriever named Max near the river in East Midlands wearing a blue collar with a tag and a small scar on his right ear.

I lost my golden retriever, Max, while taking him for a walk near the river in East Midlands. He's very friendly and loves to play with other dogs and people. He was wearing a blue collar with a tag, and he has a small scar on his right ear. I can't stop worrying about him, and I'm hoping someone has seen him or can help bring him back home.

Lost small brown rabbit named Thumper in East Midlands gardens.

I lost my small brown rabbit named Thumper in the East Midlands gardens while I was taking him for a walk. I looked everywhere, but he seemed to have found a way to slip through the bushes. He’s very friendly and would likely come if called. If anyone sees him, please let me know!
