How Lostpetfinder locates Stolen or Unreported Found Pets

If your pet has been missing for hours, days, or weeks, perhaps harbored by friendly neighbors, or even feared stolen, we can help you get results.

Sometimes well meaning people, who may care about a found pet, may keep it as a house guest until the owner is found.  However, they may be oblivious to yard  signs or hand bills in their neighborhood.   Further, many will be inexperienced internet users, so they don’t know how to post a found pet, much less search the on line community for missing pets.  These pet finders may eventually turn the pet over to shelters and public impounds, sometimes distant to where the pet was lost.

Less than 10% of those who may spot or find your pet may know about “going on line” to search for a posting on Craig’s List or elsewhere,  or to sort through many categories of ads over a period of days or weeks.

This group of well meaning, yet uniformed citizens, represents the largest population that you still must reach as they may be the very ones who know about your lost pet.

Of this population, some may decide to keep the pet indefinitely, because they like the pet and finding the owner is too difficult.  In then meantime, the pet owner has been mounting a diligent search, is frustrated, and out unexpected expenses.

Enter our service – Lost Pet Finder.   By notifying the entire neighborhood with personal, brief, yet informative phone calls, awareness for the missing pet rises dramatically.  Neighbors who have some knowledge of a “harbored pet”, may even inform the lost pet owner immediately.

A stolen pet may have been “acquired by default” where there is no intention of either returning the pet or searching for its owner.  When we flood a neighborhood with phone calls, knowledgeable neighbors may  “flush out” those resistant to returning the pet.

The most difficult stolen pet to recover is the attractive breeds to own, among these is the  Chihuahua, Yorkie, Maltese, Labrador, or Pitbulls.
