How PawBoost Can Help

PawBoost uses multiple channels to notify people in your area about your missing pet. Here are the features that are available to users who want to find their pet.

Quickly Get Listed in the Lost & Found

PawBoost will post your pet in our lost & found pets database. Our database is the largest in the world for lost & found pets, so you can reach the most people possible.

Free Facebook Posts

Anytime you post a pet to our lost & found database, your pet will automatically be posted to your local Facebook lost & found page. This ensures you get hyper-localized attention from pet lovers in your area.

Nextdoor Announcements

Posting your pet to our lost & found database will also automatically make an announcement on Nextdoor. Nextdoor is even more localized than Facebook, notifying people in your neighborhood and community. This way, people who live nearby can keep a lookout as well.

Pet Amber Alerts

PawBoost also functions as a pet Amber Alert, sending out notifications and alerts to millions of users who have joined our Rescue Squad.

Missing Pet Flyer Template

Of course, not everyone is a member of the PawBoost Rescue Squad. So, you can also download a printable missing pet flier from your PawBoost dashboard and post them around your neighborhood for additional local exposure!

Immediately Notify App Users

Everyone in your local area with the PawBoost app will get a push notification about your missing pet, so they know to keep an eye out as soon as possible.

Send Notifications to Email Subscribers

Adding a pet to our database will also send out an email blast to our local email subscribers.

Supercharge Your Alert

If you want to supercharge your search, you can take advantage of our premium services. Our premium services include ‘Sponsored Post’ local Facebook Ad campaigns, Instagram alerts, ‘Featured Pet’ listings at the top of our lost & found database and a homepage spotlight on the PawBoost website.
