Founder - Former Police Officer- Tom Watkins

Tom Watkins Served with the West Midlands Police and has also been a volunteer working at his local branch of Cats Protection shelter. Nine years ago he formed Animal Search UK to combine his love of animals with his investigation skills. Animal Search UK is now one of Britain’s’ leading specialists in assisting owners that have lost pets anywhere in the UK.

The small specialist search team at the Herefordshire headquarters deal with every kind of pet from a lost dog, lost cat, lost horse or lost bird. They also receive regular reports of found pets that are displayed on this website.

Owners can advertise their missing pets nationwide free of charge using this website. Members of the public that have found pets can also advertise their found cats, found dogs and other pets free of charge.

Animal Search UK has a dedicated telephone call centre that is open 24 hours a day 7 days per week to receive calls from the public that have found pets. Owners can take advantage of an optional professional poster printing service. All the Animal Search UK posters bear colour photos and our FREEPHONE number and can encourage people to ring with information about a lost pet, in confidence if necessary. To improve the chances of finding your pet free advice is also available on this site. Please click here to print a poster about our free service that you can display in your local vet surgery.
