Our Mission
Pets go missing — and most can make it home when someone can identify them quickly.
Pawscout is building a network for pet safety, well-being, and fun, empowering pet owners and neighbors to help each other via lightweight, affordable tags for cats and dogs. Download the free Pawscout App and begin protecting your pet today.
What Happens When a Pet Goes Missing?
We've got you covered! If your pet goes missing, we'll help you create and broadcast a lost pet post in seconds with all the critical details (breed, size, color, last-known location, meds, behavioral conditions, and more) needed to keep your pet safe and get them home as quickly as possible.
Lost Pet Report
The pet parent quickly creates a lost pet "Amber" alert in the Pawscout App.
Broadcast Alert
Pawscout broadcasts the alert to all Pawscouters within a 5-mile radius.
Pet Found
A rescuer scans the QR code on the tag, which opens pawscout.com/found/{code} with the pet owner's contact information.
Two-Way Notifications
The pet parent receives an alert from the rescuer; the rescuer receives contact info for the pet parent.
Reunification
Set a meetup with the pet's family. Enjoy the tail-wagging and prancing that ensues.
Free Pawscout App
Our tags are simple, lightweight and easy to use because all the magic is in the Pawscout App. Even if you don't own a tag or a pet, join now to help lost pets, track walks, and learn from our community of avid pet lovers.
