(screenshots were made with the dutch language , but with another language chosen, most buttons and comments will be translated)

Click on "Search for an animal" .

Search is done in all available languages (including Latin names and alternative language names).

As an example, here was searched for "das"

Besides a "das" (Dutch for  badger), animals are also found where "das" appears in the name in other languages.

By clicking on the picture of the animal you go to further processing.

Here you choose what you are looking for: a rescue center, veterinarian, veterinarian on duty, transporter ...

The search is done according to the wanted animal: specialized services, services that are familiar with it, others ...

You can try to find your location automatically (in some cases this is not correct)

or you can enter and confirm an address / municipality or city (sometimes it is necessary to also enter the country)

Here you can also specify the radius within which to search.

Check the map at the bottom of the page if a position is found.

If it is correct, click on "Search services based on this location" to continue.

If no correct position: "Reset" and try again.

Now the results found are shown per category (specialized in the species, familiar with the species ...)

The results are arranged by category according to distance (bird's-eye view) from your position.

Veterinarians who provide temporary shelter are also listed at the shelters.
