It’s a wonderful feeling

It’s a wonderful feeling to successfully find a lost pet’s family and return them safely home! Pawboost spread the word and a stranger had seen the puppy in a post. I was able to contact them and get him home from his adventure. 🙂

I had just submitted the "Found Dog"…

I had just submitted the "Found Dog" post minutes earlier when I got a call from a very relieved person that I had her dog. She had been missing for an hour and was out searching for her when she got an alert for my post. The poor pup really was trying to get herself home but was stuck on the wrong side of a very long fence line that runs adjacent to the train tracks. The trains run frequently here and she was wanting to get as far away from them as fast as possible. She is a wonderful dog with a wonderful owner who is back safely at home because of the outstanding work the volunteers and people behind this site do everyday. They go above and beyond!

Amazing

Amazing, I feel like this definitely helped me bring my boy home, I put the post out last night after days being missing and he returned home today (he looks well looked after and fed) so I’m assuming he may have been in someone else’s house and they may have seen the post, I would recommend and definitely use again if I ever need too

This pretty girl is home safe

We want to thank all the people who followed and reported Kaluah and her whereabouts through San Pedro yesterday! She was found around 10pm. No one could get close to her; she was so scared. She seemed to have tried to find her way home. As her dad drove through the neighborhood, based on a new location that notified us, she heard her dads voice and immediately jumped in the car happy to be united with him. :)

PawBoost was incredibly helpful when my dog went missing. The platform made it so easy to quickly create a lost pet alert and share it with the community. Within a short time, many people in my area were aware and looking out for my dog. Thanks to PawBoost and the kindness of others, I was able to find my dog and bring him home safely. I’m truly grateful for this service and highly recommend it to anyone who needs help finding a lost pet. Thank you, PawBoost!

Great service.

Being able to get notices out to so many places all at once is a great service. I didn't get any of the add-ons but got great results.

It took seconds to get the word out to thousands of people about my cat, Lovey, who had gone missing. Because of that, i had numerous people reach out to give me ideas on how to bring him home. I even had people offer to help me get my animals spayed/neutered since i am disabled and recently lost my job. I couldn't thank Pawboost enough

Easy to Use Website

It was very easy to set up the post.
Even though I described that the cat was missing in Hampton, it went under Newport News Missing Pets. (Not sure if that's just the general area)
Also, I was confused if the free post was active, unless I paid for some kind of ad boost.

Hi James! Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that creating the post was easy.

Once an alert is created on PawBoost, it is shared to the closest lost pets Facebook page we have for the area. We currently don't have a Hampton page; this is why it was posted to the Newport News page instead.

It is free to add a pet to PawBoost. This includes posting to the lost pets Facebook page for your area, emailing local members of our Rescue Squad, creating a printable missing flyer, and adding the pet to our lost and found listings. Our Rescue Squad is made up of rescue owners, shelter employees, veterinarians, and volunteers who help keep an eye out for lost pets.

There is also an optional paid feature that allows you to turn the alert into a Facebook advertisement so it appears directly in more people’s feeds; however, this is completely optional.

If you would like us to review your alert or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@pawboost.com
We will be happy to help! 🐾

Amazing grace

I made the post on the 27th of February and on the 28th, I received a message from my neighbor. My doggie was missing for 2 days. I didn't know what to do, besides ride around looking for him. Some lovely person on the Next door app, made me aware of this site on the 27th. I posted here and amazing work was done.

PawBoost sent updates of found dogs in the area so I could try to find a match, posted my dog's picutre of Facebook, reaching a much larger audience than I ever could. I love the service and would highly recommend them.
