About Find a Paw

Short answer: Find a Paw is a small advertising service based in metro Atlanta, Georgia. Since 2019 we have helped more than 9,800 pet owners get a missing dog or cat in front of the neighbors living closest to where it was last seen, using targeted Facebook and Instagram alerts. Alerts run anywhere in the United States.

Why we exist

Most lost pets are found close to home, often by someone a few streets away who had no idea anyone was looking. Lost pet groups and shelter websites only reach people who already know to check them. We built Find a Paw to reach everyone else: the neighbors scrolling their feeds who would recognise your pet if they only saw it.

What we do

You give us your pet’s photo, a description and the place they were last seen. We turn that into a missing pet ad and run it on Facebook and Instagram to people living around that spot. You also get a free printable flyer with the same information. Plans and prices are on our pricing page.

What we won’t do

• We don’t search for pets in person, and we never promise your pet will be found. Anyone who guarantees a reunion is selling you something they can’t deliver.
• We don’t sell your information. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach us. See our privacy policy.
• We don’t publish reunion stories without the owner’s permission.
