The History of Petsearch
Petsearch (UK) was founded in
February 1990 by Paula & Harry Greaves of Solihull because some animals were being destroyed when their owners were unable
to locate them within the statutory 7 days grace before death or resale. They felt that a central point registering all information
of lost or found pets was badly needed. They offer this FREE SERVICE 7 days a week, but the demand
escalated to such an extent that volunteers had to be sought for other areas - and so a national network of petsearchers came
into being.
- Our principal aim
is to get help for all animals and caged birds that are lost or in distress, in the West Lothian catchment area.
- We are not a charity, WE ARE A VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION and we know firsthand what it is
like to lose a pet to a motor vehicle or never to be found.
- Our Helpline is
run entirely voluntarily and NO CHARGE is made for our services. But if we manage to trace your pet a DONATION
would be gratefully received to pay our administrative overheads i.e. telephone bills, stationery, petrol and cat food/litter
for overnight stays.
- Many charities today have become big businesses whilst
groups such as ours are fighting hard to keep going.
- Have you taken in a stray
or feeding a stray cat or dog please ring us.

Sad News for West Lothian Petsearch

great work helping Animals and owners in the West Lothian area. Please note the new telephone number 01506
