Report your pet by completing the form at https://findapaw.com/#reportAPet. Make sure you choose the ‘lost’ status, then add your email and the location your pet was last seen. On the next page, add a clear photo and additional details so your community can be on the lookout.

When you register a lost or found pet with Find a Paw, we generate a free lost pet flyer and post the pet’s information to the Facebook page for your area. The people who like or follow that page can view and share your pet’s information — which is super valuable! — but limited to that community. When you upgrade an alert, we boost that post and run an advertisement to Facebook users in the area where the pet was lost so that hundreds and thousands of people who might not necessarily follow our page can see your pet’s photo. Basically, we utilize Facebook’s super powerful advertising platform to reach neighbors who otherwise wouldn’t be aware your pet went missing.

We offer three plans which start at $24.99. You can choose to reach 500-10,000+ people in your local area. You can view a breakdown on each of the packages in your Find a Paw account. Just click on your pet’s dashboard under the My Pets tab, then click Buy Packages.
