About Pippaʼs Army

Our Mission
Pippa’s Army Lost & Found started when Pippa (a miniature Schnauzer) went missing in 2016. It took 3 weeks for Pippa to eventually be found and reunited with her family.
Volunteers involved in helping to find Pippa decided to keep the Facebook group going to provide ongoing support to local pet owners/families that lose their pets in the Havering and Thurrock areas.
The lost and found group has grown considerably now with over 30,000 members and we are forever growing!
Now, we can have in excess of 100 cats and kittens at any one time in our care, all of whom are lovingly taken care of within our fosterer’s private homes.
What do we do?
At Pippa’s Army Lost & Found Animal Rescue, we work tirelessly to reunite lost pets with their families. When an animal goes missing, our experienced volunteers mobilize quickly through coordinated search parties and the strategic use of humane traps to safely recover them. We understand how distressing it can be to lose a pet, which is why we urge anyone with a missing animal to join our active Facebook group, where they can post details, receive support, and connect with our dedicated team for assistance.
We also operate a specialized dog unit that focuses solely on lost, stray, and abandoned dogs. This team is trained in safe handling, tracking techniques, and urgent response, giving dogs the best chance of being brought to safety and reunited with their families or placed in foster care. For feral cats, we offer tailored solutions—those that aren’t suited for adoption can find secure placements on local farms, where they will be cared for and fed. Additionally, we run a trap, neuter, and release (TNR) program to manage feral cat populations humanely and responsibly.
