Help with your pet search

Common questions while you search, like how we help you look, how to spread the word, and what to do if a pet looks like yours.

How do I let others know my pet is missing?

Start a search: tell us about your pet, add a photo and where you last saw them. Then choose Share publicly, and if we need to confirm your email, we’ll send you a link. Anyone who recognizes your pet can message you, and we’ll email you when they do.

How can FindLostPets help me search?

We compare photos, looks, place and timing across posts from neighbors, shelters and rescues. A possible match is a lead for you to check, not proof.

What should I do if a pet could be mine?

Open it and compare the photos, markings, place and dates. If you haven’t started a search yet, start one so we can show you more possibilities and you can ask for details. For a pet at a shelter or rescue, follow that organization’s steps to ask about or claim the pet.

What can people see about my post?

A public post shows photos, a description, the general area, dates, and status. People who recognize the pet message you through it, and we email you when they do. Anything you type in the description can be seen and shared, so leave out contact details, home addresses, and microchip numbers.

Where does FindLostPets search?

We look at posts from neighbors and at the shelter and rescue listings we can reach. Coverage varies by area, so keep checking local shelters and community groups. Your pet may not be posted yet.
