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.
