Frequently Asked Questions

I found a pet. What do I do?

Check the stray animal for any identification, including a microchip. Most local vets will scan a chip for free.

Notify local animal control agencies and shelters. Here is the full list of PawBoost partner shelters, but not every shelter is partnered. To find all your local shelters and humane societies, we recommend doing a Google search for ‘animal shelters near Cambridge’.

And of course, spread local awareness for the found pet. PawBoost makes it easy to put out a found pet alert so you can instantly notify your local community. We’ll send an email alert to our local members, post to the PawBoost-powered Facebook page for your area, add the found pet to our lost & found, and make a found pet flyer – all for free.

Also take advantage of posting to Nextdoor.com – a PawBoost partner – and Craigslist. Both of these sites have communities of people who help reunite found pet with their families. We highly recommend you use these resources in addition to PawBoost!
