Every hour, over 1,100 pets go missing, and only two-thirds of them ever make it home. That is 10 million lost pets per year. FindMyPet helps quickly reunite lost pets with their owners by the use of state of the art Crowdfinding techniques.

When you lose your pet. Use the FindMyPet app or website to enter your lost pet's information along with some photos, or if you have pre-programmed it, just set it for search mode. The rest is automatic.
What do others see? People who have FindMyPet on their phone within the current area will instantly get a notification with the information and photo.
When they find your pet. All they have to do is take a photo of your pet with the FindMyPet app, which is then shared with all users in the area. If they can capture the pet, they can report they have it and contact you directly via the app. As your pet moves, and people take more pictures, the GPS coordinates of each photo will enlarge or shrink the search area.

The story should really be called “Find My Mommy”... Hi, My name is Camille and I am an Animal Whisperer.
Animals, usually strays, are just drawn to me. I feel their feelings and understand their needs. There was a time when an abused puppy got away from it's “master” and walked ½ mile through the fields to my house and whimpered at my gate to be let in. When the master was out looking/calling for her by beating the grass with a stick and yelling “Dog, come here dog”, she hid under my legs and looked up at me with puppy dog eyes that said “Don't tell him I'm here, please.” She has now been part of my family for the last 5 years and 3 countries and that's her sitting beside me. Since this is a daily part of my life, I am spending a lot of time on helping stray animals - feeding, spaying and neutering, fostering, and placing them in forever homes whenever I can. This led to me seeing the scope of the issue of strays around the world, (10 million lost pets per year worldwide) and then leading from that research, the number of missing pets on a daily basis around the world (1,141 lost pets per hour). In fact, one in three pets will become lost at some point in its life.
So I decided to get someone to develop the FindMyPet apps and websites for me back in early 2015. Unfortunately, costs rose, and since I was financing the development out of pocket, I had to put a stop to it. Since the app has no cost to use, and there is no advertising on it, and I don't have any way to make money with it, it was suggested to me that I do a Kickstarter or Indiegogo or other Crowdfunding campaign. I have plans to do that, but it takes time to get it started and then you don't get the money until you raise it all, etc. I don't want to wait that long to help lost pets.
So, this is why I am asking for donations - either a small monthly subscription or a one-time donation, to help me get the Android version completed, complete the server back-end, and then contract someone to do the iPhone version.
People ask me why I am doing my own when there are already a few apps out there already. I studied them all, and came up with the main issues being:
- They are localized (for a single town or state)
- They have a cost to use (We are 100% FREE)
- Protect animal abusers
- They are limited in features
- You have to pre-sign up and register your pets
- You have to go through a registration process that takes time
- They don't work anymore.
I wanted something quick and simple to use, especially when flustered because you can't find your pet. It also has to be useful in the real word. So, the FindMyPet feature list includes:
- Less than a 2 minute process to get your pet's information out to the network, with the ability to add more information later
- Uploading of up to 5 photos of the pet and uploading of up to 5 “sound files” of you calling your pet that can be played to coax him/her to come. (My husband uses this feature when I am away and he needs to get the cats in the house at night.)
- Simple simple simple to use, and constant feedback from the users on how to make it even simpler
That, and many more options as listed above, and we are constantly thinking of new things to make your pet's life easier, safer, and happier.
Again, I thank you in advance for donating if you can, and even if you can't, please make sure you have the app installed on your phone so that you can help with the Crowdfinding of the lost pets.
The app has very simple functionality. Here are some of the example screens:
To report a lost pet, put in the basic information about it.
Then select some photos and audio files.
Select where you last saw your pet and when.
When a pet is lost in your area, your phone will notify you automatically with information such as this.
When a pet is lost in your area, the system automatically sends out a PDF file like this via email to all of the veterinarians, animal shelters and pet stores in the area. I hope that every pet store has a “WANTED” poster wall. When a pet is found, the “FOUND” poster is sent out with the happy story.
You can help us test the app by downloading it from the Google Play Store. We are making changes daily, so I appreciate any feedback you can give me and the development team. It was more important to save pets than to have a perfect app.
We are always in need of volunteers. The tasks are listed below. If you are interested, email us at Volunteer@FindMyPet.help
