Be Prepared in Advance!

We created the free RoverAlert app for this exact purpose. Download it yourself, and get neighbors, friends, family, and any foster networks you're involved with to do the same. That way, if your pet ever runs off, you can immediately alert anyone nearby who also has the app to help recover your lost pet.

Simply click on the image above or the link here to download our app and help save lost pets, including your own.

What else can you do? Below are some ideas from The Spruce Pets:

1. Sweep the neighborhood (RoverAlert is a great tool to speed this up).
2. Use your pet’s microchip
3. Post some flyers
4. Leverage social media
5. Call local shelters
6. Know where to look
7. Don’t give up

These are great tips. Having our free RoverAlert app is more immediate and effective than several of these and can support others. Be prepared!

How can you help others?

• Promote the app on NextDoor so more people near you can be notified.
• Ask your local shelters and rescues to use the app and encourage their volunteers to do the same.
• Share it on social media.

The more people with the app, the greater the chance of recovering lost pets. Together, we can build a nationwide network of pet rescuers.
