If your dog is missing in KwaZulu-Natal

1. Report your dog as lost. It is free and needs no account.
2. Phone the SPCA that covers the area where the dog went missing, then go in person. A description over the phone is easy to mismatch.
3. Go back every two or three days. Dogs are sometimes handed in a week or more after they went missing.

If you have found a dog

Have it scanned for a microchip at a vet or SPCA, tell the SPCA you have it, and report it as found. See I found a dog: what to do, step by step.

Not sure which SPCA covers your area?

Each SPCA is a separate society with its own area. The SPCA locator on nspca.co.za finds the nearest one from your postal code.
