Lost Dog Found Thanks to Pet Amber Alert

by Kimberly Edwards on January 4, 2011

Panic ensues in your head when you’ve realized your dog is lost. It’s the worst feeling in the world and you immediately start breathing hard, yelling outside for them and may even start crying…

After you’ve initially searched for them and have exhausted your immediate options, there’s another option to help you find your lost dog.

It’s a Pet Amber Alert where you can put out an APB on your pet around your specific neighborhood through the help of PetAmberAlert.com.

This lost pet finder allows you to target your area via the same principal as the Amber Alerts put out for abducted children.

Basically, you submit their photo, your location and choose whether you want a poster alert, a phone alert or both put out.

The phone alert is automated and is sent to your neighbors, over 10,000 neighbors within one hour. Posters can be placed in businesses in your area, between 25-500 within one hour.

Plus, they will send you a Lost Pet Recovery Guide to assist you with your step-by-step strategy of finding your pet and having them safely returned home to you!

So, whether you have a lost dog, cat or bird – or really any animal, and want them back safely, try out this service. I think it’s an amazing idea!

Love Your Terrier,

I just checked out this company, and there are 21 complaints lodged against them by the Better Business Bureau, including 17 unanswered complaints. That’s a very high number! I’d encourage anyone who’s considering hiring this company to read the complaints first. I work in search and rescue of lost dogs, and most people in this “business” are volunteers. Furthermore, here’s a good tutorial for how to look up phone numbers of residents in the area where your pet was lost: http://www.ehow.com/how_5524685_neighbors-names-addresses-phone-numbers.html

If you get together 10 friends, you could easily make 500 calls in one day. After reading the reviews of people who paid this company and then never heard back from them (and were never helped in the search for their pet), I chose not to share this website with the rescue organizations in my area. I’m glad I checked before encouraging heartbroken pet owners to give their money away to a company that looks like it would just waste precious time in the search for their beloved animal!

Thanks for listening, and sorry– I really do wish this company were legit, because it would be amazing to have a resource to help us volunteers out when owners have the cash to hire someone.

If you really want to hire someone to help you find your pet, look up a qualified Search and Rescue dog and handler in your area. (I am a volunteer who coordinates rescues with other volunteers, I am not a professional SAR handler.) There are SAR teams that specialize in finding lost pets. They are expensive and often backed up with cases, but it is worth a shot.

Thank you for your input, Ali! It’s important to share information such as this.

It’s most important to be sure people get their pets back…first and foremost…

Does anyone else have any other input regarding this company?

Yes, they are cute & loyal, and can be a whole lot of fun. What breeds do you have?
