WE have all seen it before on our community group feeds, frantic pet owners searching for their lost pets or good citizens trying to catch animals on the loose and take them to the nearest vet or place of safety.
Now there is an app with the sole purpose of reuniting lost pets with their owners.
Lost & Hound is free to use and requires an e-mail address or Facebook account to sign up.
People can list lost and found pets, along with pictures, and search for animals within a 150km radius of their location.
Once a user finds an animal they think may be theirs, they can privately message the poster and organise collection.
Users are encouraged to ensure they receive sufficient proof of ownership before returning pets.
Always arrange to meet in a public place, such as at a local vet’s office, for the safety of all involved.
The app is available for download on both the Google Play and Apple App stores.
The app allows for:
– adding lost and found animal listings
– describing the animal by type
– describing the animal by condition
– adding photos of the animal
– adding location where the animal was found
– adding a description of the animal
– direct messaging between users, allowing for both videos and photos to be sent
