Sophia: Lost Dog Reunited in Bolingbrook, IL!
“I let my white cockapoo, Sophia, out to use the bathroom in our backyard. A portion of the back fence facing Kings Road was down, and she got out of the yard.
PawBoost posted Sophia’s missing poster on Facebook, and almost immediately someone replied that they had found her and turned her over to animal control. So I was able to contact animal control, identify Sophia, and go and pick her up.
She was only missing for 3 hours. The PawBoost posting on Facebook resulted in a very quick response. Thank you to everyone who helped bring Sophia home safely. Thank you to Bolingbrook Animal Control.”

Alfie: Lost Cat Reunited in Lowton, England!
“Alfie went out in the early morning and didn’t come home. He wasn’t one to stray further than the garden. We only moved to the area 6 months prior, so I think he must’ve got frightened by something and couldn’t find his way home again.
A guy on holiday in Barbados saw my lost post for Alfie. He recognised him from hanging around his garden before he went away. He sent the post to his son, who had stayed home. He confirmed it was him and rang me. I went straight over there and brought Alfie home.
He was skinny, extremely hungry, cold, and traumatised. He’s now warm, has a full tummy, has spent most of his time asleep since he came home, and is recovering well. He was missing for 16 days, so never give up searching!”

Ozzy: Lost Cat Reunited in Roseville, CA!
“I let Ozzy go outside to visit his mom, who is part of the colony I care for. He never leaves his mom. I plan on bringing her inside so he is never without her again. She gave birth on my patio because she knows I’m safe. I can pet her and pick her up.
I call him Ozzy because he’s a crazy train of chaos and I love it. I adopted his siblings out to wonderful homes and kept him because he was so affectionate and loves my dog.
I feared a coyote got him. The not knowing was absolute torture. I couldn’t sleep or eat for days.
Everyone on PawBoost was so kind and shared my post. I felt like the community came together to help me. I will forever be grateful for the support and love my community showed me. I will definitely use this app again because they came to my aid when they didn’t have to. Thank you so much for the support.
I found him by luck. Ozzy has been stuck up a tall tree behind the levy of my house. The Roseville Fire Department rescued him for me.”

Joe: Lost Dog Reunited Metairie, LA!
“Joe escaped out of our backyard. We recently moved, and he found a spot to get out in the fence. He goes by Joe or Penn and is very skittish but would not hurt anyone. We were so worried about him.
We were reunited through the community showing up and helping find Joe! The PawBoost post helped spread the word on social media, and everyone was so selfless in helping find Joe. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without everyone helping!
Thank you to everyone who shared the post and helped find Joe over the last 24 hours!!!”

Lucy: Lost Cat Reunited in Fairfield, CA!
“Lucy went missing while my mom had stopped for gas. She accidentally slipped out of the car and ran off before we could catch her. We searched the area right away, but she disappeared into the surrounding bushes.
A kind person in the area heard Lucy crying in the bushes and left some food out to help coax her out safely. Later that night, he was able to get her and take her home. He took such good care of her and found our PawBoost post. He reached out to let us know that she was safe. We are so grateful for him and PawBoost for getting Lucy home to us!
After two weeks, we were finally reunited and couldn’t be more relieved. Thank you to everyone who shared her post and kept an eye out. We’re especially grateful to the rescues, shelters, vets, and volunteers who help families during times like this. And a very special thank you to the kind person who found her, kept her safe, and made sure she was cared for. We truly appreciate all of you!”
