Helping a lost pet is simple! First, always be careful when approaching a pet that appears lost - they may be scared or disoriented. Your Pawscout App should be able to detect the Tag as long as you are within a hundred feet or so of the pet.
- As a Pawscout user, you may receive an alert that you're near a lost Pawscout Pet. If the owner didn't mark their pet as missing, or you don't see an alert, you can still let the Pawscout community know you've found a missing pet by creating a Found Pet Post.
- Navigate to the Pawscout social feed (For You tab) and create a post.
- Choose the Lost Pet icon (in red, with an exclamation point) at the bottom of your screen. Select Report Lost Pet; then Found Pet Post.
- If the found pet was already marked as lost in your area, it would show under "Do you see them here?" You will see the created Lost Pet Post where you could message or contact the owner. If you don't see the found pet, you can attempt to Scan the Tag or select "It's Not Here"
- The Pawscout App will walk you through making a Found Pet Post. Be sure to add a picture and where you found the pet! Include as many details as you can. The more description you provide, the more likely you are to reunite the pet with its owner.
- You also can scan the Tag to see if you can automatically obtain information about the found pet. If detected, you can leave your contact information for the owner to contact you.
