Doglost

Doglost is a UK-based charity and website dedicated to reuniting lost dogs with their owners. Founded in 2003, the organization operates a national database of lost and found dogs, accessible to the public and animal welfare organizations.

The primary function of Doglost is to facilitate the reporting of lost and found dogs. Owners can create a profile for their missing pet, providing details such as breed, age, microchip number, and last known location. Similarly, individuals who have found a stray dog can register the animal's details. The website then cross-references these reports, helping to match lost dogs with their owners.

Doglost also offers advice and support to owners of missing pets, including tips on searching, contacting local authorities, and utilizing social media. They work in conjunction with local councils, animal shelters, and rescue groups across the country. The charity relies on a network of volunteers who assist in distributing posters and spreading awareness in their local areas. Microchipping is strongly promoted by Doglost as a vital tool for reuniting lost pets. The organization aims to reduce the number of stray dogs in shelters and reunite as many lost pets with their families as possible.
