Yoshi: Lost Dog Reunited in Seminole, FL!
“Yoshi usually wears a collar that has an AirTag in it. However, we were just about to go to bed at night, and while putting out the trash he got out. He was gone for 13 hours. Through PawBoost, Nextdoor, and the Ring community, we began getting sightings early afternoon, and a wonderful woman named Elise had him in her front yard.
PawBoost was the central collaborative network, and I’m so glad that we used it. We could not have gotten the message out to a wider community if we had not. It is a great tool that you hope you never have to use. PawBoost is the nerve of the networks out there, being able to post on Nextdoor, Ring, Facebook, and Instagram by using PawBoost made a difficult task that much easier.”

Daisy: Lost Dog Reunited in Nanuet, NY!
“Daisy was in our yard with her dad while he mowed the lawn. She saw a doe and decided she wanted to hang out on the other side of our six-foot fence. She couldn’t go over, so she scrambled under and lost her collar. She and that deer flew up the dry brook. My sons walked the brook for over a mile, calling and whistling with no luck.
Calls were made, and posts were put out anywhere and everywhere. Someone on the Ring app sent me to PawBoost. After 3 days, and the biggest storm of the summer, my youngest son went for a walk along the brook and slowly did his “call” for Daisy, which is a whistle and clap. He heard her whine. I was home printing another 50 flyers when he called, saying he had her but forgot her collar and leash! I never moved so fast!
Daisy was gone three days and two very long, stormy nights. PawBoost and every site that helps get our fur babies’ pictures and information out there is another avenue to find them.”
Mikey: Lost Cat Reunited in Jerseyville, IL!
“We aren’t entirely sure how Mikey got out, but he just slipped out a door, even though he’s never shown interest before in going outside.
We got a good amount of comments on our paw boost post. A lot of people suggested he would be close by, scared, and likely hiding until night. They also suggested going out with flashlights at night to try to catch his eyes reflecting. We found three other cats before we found ours, so it was definitely an effective method!
PawBoost helped get the word out and gave us a lot of knowledge we didn’t have before.”

Found Bird: Reunited in Brighton, MA!
“I found the bird on top of a car while on a walk. I was able to have her perch on my finger and then carried her home, where I kept her safe in a travel cage until I could reunite her with her owner.
I found a post on the PawBoost Boston Facebook page advertising that the bird had gone missing in my neighborhood. I also submitted a PawBoost ‘Found’ post on the page. The owner told me that she had just seen the post I made right before I called her.
Bird had been missing for two days. I had the bird in my possession for only about two hours before I found the owner through PawBoost. It was very easy to submit a form and have it advertised on Facebook without my needing to reactivate my Facebook account (which I really didn’t want to have to do).”

Merlin: Lost Cat Reunited in Severance, CO!
“Merlin wandered off from our yard. He is an inside cat, and we let him outside while we are outside. This time, he got away before we noticed. He loves catching bugs and moths. He was within the fenced-in school grounds, a block away, and was too scared or didn’t know how to get out to get back home.
Several people contacted through Facebook and Nextdoor using the PawBoost flyer. People sent pictures of him. Then two of them even came back to the area to help me watch for him and get assistance to get him out.
Merlin was gone a total of 19 days, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees and no water source where he was hiding.”
