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 West 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 West 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 West Midlands so found-pet reports nearby surface alongside yours.

Golden-brown Labrador mix with red collar; missing near Broad Street

I lost my golden-brown Labrador mix, Milo, yesterday around 3pm near the canal towpath behind Broad Street in Birmingham. He's about 22 inches tall, with a red collar and a small brass bell, and there's a white heart-shaped patch on his chest plus a tiny scar above his left hind leg. He’s friendly but a little wary of strangers, so please approach calmly. It really matters to me—he’s my daily walking buddy and the kids adore him, and this dog has sentimental value since he’s been part of our family for years. If you’ve seen him, please text me or message here; I’d be forever grateful.

Yellow cockatiel with orange cheeks, missing near Broad Street

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my bright yellow cockatiel with orange cheek patches. I last saw him outside the Starbucks on Broad Street in Birmingham, near Five Ways, right in the heart of the West Midlands. He's a small cockatiel, mostly yellow on the head and chest with olive-green wings, and a silver band on his right leg. He tends to perch on my shoulder and chirps when he's excited, which makes him easier to spot in a crowd. This bird means a lot to me—he was a gift from my sister, and I’m really worried he’s out there on his own. If you spot him, please drop me a message so we can reunite him with his family.

Gray tabby cat, green collar, missing yesterday

I’m missing Milo, my gray tabby. He’s a medium-sized, short-haired cat with a white bib and a pink nose. He wears a bright green collar with a tiny silver bell, and there’s a notch in his left ear plus a white sock on his right hind paw—unique markers that help him stand out. We adopted him last year; he’s shy with strangers but incredibly affectionate once he trusts you. Yesterday around 5pm, he slipped out of the back door near the Bullring Shopping Centre on Corporation Street in Birmingham, West Midlands. This cat means a lot to me—he’s part of the family and has sentimental value. If you’ve seen him or picked him up, please reach out; I’d really appreciate getting him back home.

Lost small green tree frog last seen hopping around a friend's garden in West Midlands.

I seem to have lost my green tree frog while visiting my friend's garden in West Midlands. He enjoys jumping around a lot, and I believe he hopped out of his tank when I wasn't looking. I'm really worried about him since he's quite small and can easily get lost in the grass.
