Harvey's Army became a registered charity in June 2014 after the tragic death of a miniature Poodle called Harvey. Harvey lost his life after bolting from a house on 23rd November 2013; he was microchipped and wearing a collar and tag when he went missing. It was thought, because of this, that he would be reunited quickly but this was not the case. For thirteen weeks, Harvey's family, friends and the Facebook group called "Find Harvey" searched, leafleted and contacted rescues, they even made newspaper and radio appeals.

It was an employee of the Highways Agency who eventually came forward after seeing one of the leaflets and confirmed she knew that Harvey's body had been retrieved from the M62 Motorway just 21 minutes after he went missing. Harvey had not been scanned and the fact he had an id tag made no difference, his family had not been contacted. Harvey had been placed in cold storage until February 2014 when he was cremated. After obtaining information from the Freedom of Information Act it was discovered that the Highways Agency were planning on phasing out the Area Management Memo 67/05, the very procedure that should have been used when dealing with Harvey's case.

From this came Harvey's Army which was launched to prevent what happened to Harvey from ever happening again. Harvey's Law, the online petition was launched in March 2014 and over 123,000 people signed the petition. The petition was debated in Parliament in March 2015. It was unanimously agreed that Area Management 67/05 should be reinstated with immediate effect and that Harvey's Mandate should ensure that any deceased dog or cat retrieved from the Highway would be scanned for a microchip, a detailed report logged and filed and both the Police and Animal Warden notified.
In addition a recommendation was made to all local councils that Harvey's Mandate should be extended to all council roads. For the first time this mandate was to cover cats as well as dogs. Harvey's Army has grown significantly and now has over 300 volunteers situated in England, Scotland & Wales.
