Loststolendog.com was founded in early 2021 by a group of dog lovers & owners who want to make a difference.
Our initial aim was to raise awareness to the horrendous increase in dog thefts and help reunite lost and stolen dogs with their human families. Having your dog taken from you or go missing is not only traumatic for the dogs, but their owners as well, and can have lasting negative impacts on their lives.
We launched a rapid alert system that our members could trigger if their dog was lost or stolen that would send an alert to all our members in a 5 mile radius and also posted on all local dog groups across our social media platforms. A dog, if lost or startled, can cover an average of 12 miles in one hour, so it is imperative that the alert is activated ASAP
Now 2 years on, a totally free service, run by volunteers, we have grown into a ‘dog friendly community’ with thousands of followers on the various social media platforms, who interact, share and communicate with each other.
