Found a Stray
On finding a strayed dog or cat, it can be difficult to know what to do. Find out more about who to contact and the Rescue, Reunite and Rehome service offered by Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home.
We know that losing a dog or cat can be an extremely worrying time, so Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home is on hand with tips and advice to bring your pet home safely.
The Home works with Police Scotland and a number of local councils, including City of Edinburgh, East Lothian and West Lothian, taking in stray dogs and cats that have been found in these areas. We have a high success rate in reuniting animals with their owners and you can rest assured that they will be in expert hands during any time spent with us.
Call us on 0131 669 5331 between 9am-4pm with a description of your pet, location last seen, and your contact details.
Please note that reports of lost pets made via social media may not be picked up immediately and a call directly to our reception team is essential.
If your dog or cat is brought to us, please be aware that you will be liable for a nightly boarding fee, in addition to any fees imposed by the dog wardens or police. These charges are mandatory, as while we have partnership with these bodies, we are not funded by them. The service provided by Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home is to care for the dog or cat who has been lost until their owners are contacted or locate them.
