Instances of pet theft are rare in North Yorkshire but we know that pets are an important part of many families and we want to help you keep them safe and protected.
We have implemented a pet theft lead and a small team of pet theft liaison officers who can offer specialist advice and support to pet owners.
Plus, we've produced guidance on how to best protect your pets and what to do if they go missing.
Many of our team are pet owners themselves and fully understand the emotional impact it can have if pets go missing or are stolen. We are here to help you and rest assured, we take all incidents of this nature very seriously.

The demand for pets is at an all time high and this creates a perfect opportunity for scammers. Never pay any money for a pet that you have not seen in person and take extra steps to ensure you are buying from a legitimate breeder or seller.
The RSPCA has guidance on safe pet buying and rehoming if this is something you are considering.
