You have lost an animal

Lost and found animals — this service does not replace veterinary emergency care

Describe it: the notice is published as soon as your e-mail address is confirmed, without leaving this page.

Type the postcode or the name, then pick from the list. Never your address.

Does the animal know another place it might try to return to?



By publishing, you confirm that you are responsible for this animal and for the accuracy of the notice. (Text under review.)

How it works

What is this service for?

To publish a notice when an animal is lost, or when you have found one, and to put the two people in touch without either having to reveal themselves. The notice stays online for ninety days and can be extended in one step.

What this service does not do

It does not replace a veterinary emergency: an injured animal or one in danger is cared for first. It does not search for the animal on your behalf and guarantees nothing: it makes the notice visible and protects the contact.

What am I asked for?

An e-mail address, to send you a six-digit code. The code is valid for two hours and five attempts; without it nothing is published. The link that lets you manage the notice is sent to that address.

What is protected?

Your contact is never published: messages go through the service, five per person over fourteen days. No notice is indexed by search engines. You withdraw or close the notice whenever you want, and whatever identifies you disappears at once.

I have found an animal: what should I do?

Bring it to safety without putting yourself at risk. If it is injured, a vet first; they can also read a microchip. Report it here: the notice is visible right away and the person looking for it can write to you through the service. The law requires a found animal to be reported; your canton's services tell you where.

How much does it cost, and who reads my data?

Nothing. The service asks for neither a name nor a payment for a notice; it keeps your address to reach you, then erases the notice and whatever identifies you once it is closed. No data is sold. Your address is used only for this service and is entrusted only to the technical providers that send the e-mails and host the service.
