Why helpmefindMYPET?

Each year millions of pets are separated from their families. Each year, thousands are found by good people who attempt to find their owners. More often than not, these pets will never find their way back. Why not? Most people are not informed or prepared to deal with a lost pet. They will typically keep an animal for less than a day before dropping it off at the nearest shelter. Tattooing and micro-chipping have helped significantly. Pet ID tags are also helpful but many people are hesitant to approach a strange animal. helpmefindMYPET.com was conceived as a way to take a proactive approach to locating and returning lost pets. Imagine a scenario in which thousands, of local pet owners and pet professionals were alerted the moment you lost your pet.

Our History

helpmefindMYPET.com was conceived after one of the founders lost his own pet at the tender age of 12. This German Shepherd mix was purchased using the money from his first job, then running away never to return. After spending 15 plus years in and around the pet industry, it was time to do something about finding lost pets.
Last year just over 7 million dogs and cats were separated from their homes. Unfortunately, less than 2% of cats and less than 15% of dogs are returned to their homes. Most people are not informed about lost pets or prepared to deal with a lost pet. With all the technological advancements in the past couple of decades, we are faced with the same approach to finding lost pets. Advice that is given out today is the same as the advice given in the late 80’s including, post posters and notify your local shelters/rescues. Fortunately for everyone that owns a pet, this is not the case anymore. The fact is, people find pets. The more people looking, the better the chances are of finding that lost pet. helpmefindMYPET.com was conceived as a way to take a proactive approach to locating and returning lost pets. The moment you lose your pet thousands of local pet professionals, owners, and lovers are alerted and if your pet is protected with a microchip helpmefindMYPET will forever be able to link you to your pet as well.
