I’m hoping to provide a good tool for reuniting lost and found pets with their owners. Send me your information on the pet you’ve lost or found with a picture if possible and any details and I’ll publish it here. I’ll need of course the closest address to place it on the map. (If possible, a postal code works really well!) You can send your info to petluckblog[at] gmail[dot] com.

I also wanted to provide information on useful links where you might also think about listing. As well as putting up posters and checking shelters there are many places to list and not everyone’s familiar with them all. Please feel free to send me any useful links that I might miss. You’ll find them on the tips and links page. I’m hoping that the site will stay as up to date as possible, and that even when you’re posters are down and listings dropped down further on the classifieds sites, your pet will stay on the map till you’re hopefully reunited.

    I click on a picture (there are no captions) and I just get a picture and a button to click on the next 10 pictures, but I don’t get information on that particular cat. I suggest you also had cats/dogs lost by neighborhood so people can easily navigate there and see if a cat they have found has been reported missing. The map as is right now isn’t much help at all.

      Hi
      Thanks for your comments. If you click on the picture there is one link to click on the next in the series, and a caption with link under the picture that goes to the posting. Sorry if it’s not clear.
      I use post tags to identify neighbourhoods. I’m not sure why the map doesn’t help, as the flags show a picture of the missing pet, and also link to the post? Please feel free to elaborate! If it’s not working for you please let me know!
      thanks!

      Consuelo,

      Maybe you didn’t think to click on the + sign on the map to zoom in?

    This is an excellent idea, not to mention a very sweet thing to do. I only hope this site gets a lot of promotion through word-of-mouth, blog posts (maybe even something on CBC radio?) so people are all looking/posting in the same place when it comes to lost and found pets. Good luck!
