Losing a dog is like losing a member of the family, and that’s frightening. You’ll spend your days worried about their well-being, and you’ll turn over every rock until you find them. Sadly enough, statistics show that 1 in 3 pets go missing.

Pet owners take all the necessary safety measures to ensure their cherished pet is secure and protected, but tragically, the unforeseen happens. If your pet is ever missing, you will need all the assistance you can get.

Additionally, every day, a dog runs away from home, and ultimately, someone will find them; if this is your dog, you hope they know what to do. Conversely, in case you find yourself in the situation, you should also know what to do if you ever find a lost dog.

With FindShadow, you can:

• Help find a lost dog
• Report a lost dog
• Report a found dog

 

Shadow’s Story

 

When Shadow ran away, her owner, Brad, was lost and uncertain of how to locate her. Brad displayed flyers, spoke to a countless number of individuals, and posted on social media, but no leads were coming in. That’s when Brad knew he required extra assistance if he ever wanted to see Shadow again. Fortunately, with the aid of his community, they were reunited once more. Without the care, generosity, and benevolence of the community, Brad may have never reunited with his beloved pet.

Shadow inspired a more efficient way to help find lost dogs.  With the support of several incredibly hard-working individuals, Brad created a community-led organization, which is now known as FindShadow, that has already helped to find numerous lost dogs.

 

How It Works

 

FindShadow uses and develops technology to empower communities to help one another.

FindShadow is a community-led organization that utilizes the capacity of thousands of volunteers to reunite dogs with their families, using videos, photo-matching technology, and an extensive photographic database of lost and found dogs in greater LA and NYC/NJ.

They reunite lost dogs and their families again, quickly and efficiently. Thanks to the generosity of people in all places, they’re able to provide this service for free.

This service is available for dogs in LA County and greater NYC/NJ only, but if you need help elsewhere, you can give them a call. Their community has thousands of volunteers, so much so that they’ve helped reunite over 2000 dogs and their families.

The best part is that you don’t necessarily need to be a pet owner to join. You can sign up on their app and start helping from home right away.
