Do you include Northern Ireland?
Yes. As we are a small island lost or stolen pets can easily travel in both directions and end up in rescues that you would not otherwise know about
Do the shelters charge for rehoming?
Yes of course. Rescues and pounds spend a lot of money on feeding, neutering, vet bills and staff to look after these pets. Please always give the minimum amount required and more if you can afford it.

Rescues have a no kill policy and will keep the animal till a home is found. Pounds have a policy of keeping the animal for 5 days and if not claimed they can be PTS (put to sleep).
