Lost & Found Pet SOS

Two Urgent Moments. Two Clear Actions.

Report a missing pet fast, or help a found pet get home. PawGuard shares relevant alerts with people in the area and creates a direct path for owners and finders to connect.

My Pet Is Missing

Start a Local Lost Pet Alert, No Account Needed.

Add your pet's details and last known area so nearby people know who to look for. We email you a password so you can manage the alert.

Report a Lost Pet
I Found a Pet

Help Them Get Home, No Account Needed.

Submit a found pet report immediately. If a likely owner sees the alert, PawGuard helps both sides connect.

Vets & Shelters Near You

Find Care Close to Home, or Wherever You Are.

PawGuard uses your area to surface relevant veterinary clinics and animal shelters. Available map data can include phone numbers and addresses so you can call directly or navigate there.

Your browser will ask permission. Device coordinates are rounded before PawGuard receives them. If you decline, we can try a coarse network estimate.

Independent directory: PawGuard is not currently partnered with the listed vets or shelters. Contact and location details come from map services and should be confirmed before travel.

Pet Reunion Connection

From “I Think That's My Pet” to a Safer Reunion.

PawGuard gives the finder and possible owner a clear way to connect when a report looks like a match, without making the public alert the final source of truth.

A missing or found pet report adds a photo, description and relevant area.

2. Recognize

Nearby people see the alert and a possible owner can flag a likely match.

3. Connect

The people involved can communicate and verify details before arranging a reunion.

Pet Safety FAQ

Questions Pet Parents Ask First.

Is PawGuard free?

Yes. PawGuard's pet safety services are free to use.

Does PawGuard work globally?

Yes. PawGuard is designed to operate globally and show relevant services and information based on the user's general area.

Can I report a lost or found pet without an account?

Yes. Anyone can submit a lost or found pet report without creating an account first. We create one for the email address on the report and send you a password, so you can sign in to follow up or close the alert. Creating an account up front is still recommended for pet owners who want saved records, reminders and faster access to their own pet profiles.

What pet records can I save?

You can keep important safety and health information such as allergies, vaccinations, appointments and care contacts.

How do missing and found pet notifications work?

When a lost or found report is active, PawGuard can notify users in the relevant area so more nearby people can recognize the pet or provide useful information.

Can PawGuard help me call or navigate to a vet or shelter?

Yes. Where map service data provides it, PawGuard can surface the phone number and address so you can call directly or navigate to the location.

Does PawGuard partner directly with vets and shelters?

Not at this stage. Nearby vets and shelters are listed from map service data rather than a direct PawGuard partnership.

How does PawGuard choose local articles?

PawGuard uses the user's general area to prioritize articles and pet safety information that are more relevant locally.
