March 29, 2020 at 2:21 PMOn our next door app when lost and found is opened, there is NO tab to add “new”.
Cannot cross post pawboost

March 30, 2020 at 12:15 PMHi Karen, there should be a green circle with a “+” in the top right corner of the Lost & Found section. From there, tap “Post,” select “Lost & Found” and tap “Next” in the top right corner. Then you can proceed to make your post with the PawBoost link. We hope this helps! – The PawBoost Team

August 14, 2019 at 2:31 PMOn June 12th, 2019 My 5yr old INDOOR ONLY baby girl kitty Addison has been missing for 2 mths now. My niece was supposed to be watching her while I was away and I found out she got away from her on the way to her house. She didn’t have her in a pet carrier and hasn’t talked to me since she LOST MY BABY so I don’t even know exactly where to look!! The only thing I was told was look around Terrell TX near WILLS POINT off 80 and FM47! That is a huge area and I have no idea where she actually lost her and she won’t even tell me!! I searched that area when I actually was told she lost her but a month had already past
I live an hour from that area and have no car to go back and keep searching.. It kills me every single day not knowing what happened or where she is or was… I contacted shelters and vets and can’t get back to hang flyers..she has her claws but had NEVER been outside alone I’m her life..she is also scared of other people than myself so I’m scared to death she may not have been taken in if found?? PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT CRY

August 29, 2019 at 8:58 AMOur prayers are with you. We lost our indoor cat, Nadia, a month ago in Iowa while traveling between MA and MT. She escaped at 9:00 PM into tall weeds and brush. We spent the night parked right where she escaped and stayed in the area for over a week searching for her. We posted her poster on various web sites and flooded the area with posters. Unfortunately we didn’t find her.
On a positive note we met some extremely nice people, some who still go to the area where she escaped looking and calling for her. It is in God’s hands now and we will never give up hope of her safe return.

September 4, 2019 at 10:54 PMJust be sure NOT to add an interest such as Cats or Dogs as it will NOT show up in Lost & Found if you do – it will only show up in the general feed. I have notified Nextdoor of this several times but it is still an issue.

February 28, 2020 at 9:55 PMThank you for the tips. Great to keep the two linked and maybe more fur babies will find their way home.

October 19, 2020 at 11:00 AMThis is only useful if your pet was lost in your own neighborhood. My dog was lost 8 kms from home 3 months ago so I don’t think it would help. He may have been picked up and taken out of my area.

December 5, 2020 at 7:42 AMI’m signed into Nextdoor yet have no ‘add new’ or ‘+’ button in Lost in Found. Maybe it’s just me, but this seems a bit complicated. Would be more helpful to add a button option to ‘share to Nextdoor’ as is available to ‘share to FaceBook’.

December 22, 2020 at 8:31 PMIn the past when I have shared to nextdoor the photo shows up as a thumbnail on the posting. The past two time I’ve don e it the photo doesn’t show just a green square. Is there a way for the photo to show up again? Thanks
