Facebook, WhatsApp groups and word of mouth helped a lot. I think Pet911 is a brilliant concept but needs to become more popular to help reunite pets and owners

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Pet911 uses advanced search technology to ensure rapid results. Our system instantly distributes alerts about missing pets through our nationwide network of volunteers and pet parents. Statistics show that 68% of pets are reunited within the first 48 hours thanks to our comprehensive notification system. PetBot AI continuously scans social media platforms, shelters, and community forums 24/7, matching photos of found animals with your missing pet's profile.

Reporting a pet takes less than 3 minutes. Go to the website's home page, select "Report Pet," upload a clear photo of the pet, and provide key details (color, distinctive features, last seen location) and your contact information. The system automatically determines your location and shares your pet's information to the Pet911 community page on Facebook and other local networks.

Accelerated search activates additional Pet911 resources: top placement in search results, immediate alerts to veterinarians, shelters and pet stores, targeted notifications to users within a 12-mile radius, enhanced PetBot artificial intelligence scanning, featured status in partner networks, and deployment of a specialized volunteer team to analyze likely pet travel patterns. Recovery rate increases by 43% compared to Basic Search.

PetBot uses advanced artificial intelligence to analyze uploaded pet photos. The technology compares more than 130 unique identifiers (color, ear shape, fur pattern, distinctive markings) with our national database of missing pets. Identification accuracy reaches 94% with clear photographs. The system also factors in location data and time variables to deliver the most relevant matches.

Pet911 volunteers receive instant alerts about missing pets in their neighborhood. They conduct ground searches of the area, share information across community networks, contact local veterinarians and animal shelters, and help coordinate search efforts. Our volunteer network is often the key to successful reunions.

Absolutely. Pet911 offers free protective services: creating a secure pet profile with detailed descriptions and multiple photos, pre-training the PetBot AI to recognize your pet instantly, and providing a custom QR code tag for your pet's collar that links directly to your contact information. Pre-registering your pet speeds up the recovery process by 76% if they ever go missing.

Luna is home thanks to one share!
"I just shared the alert on my feed, and after 2 hours I received a message that Luna was found! Turns out, my friend showed the post to a neighbor who saw this cat near their driveway. I never would have thought that one click could bring a pet home so quickly"
