- Your alert appears in our searchable lost pet database immediately
- Anyone in your area can submit a sighting tip with a photo
- Share your alert link directly to Facebook, Nextdoor, and text
What to Include for the Best Chance of Recovery

- Microchip number if your pet is chipped
- Your contact number and whether a reward is offered
- Any distinctive markings, scars, or behavior notes
Beyond the Alert: Steps That Maximize Recovery
- Check every shelter within 50 miles — in person, not just online

- Contact local vet offices and pet supply stores
- Set a humane trap baited with familiar-smelling food near last-seen area
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Afinderly's lost pet alert really free?
Yes — 100% free, no account required, no subscription. You post the alert and it goes live immediately.
How long does my lost pet alert stay up?
Alerts stay active until you mark the pet as found. There is no expiration.
Can I post a found pet, not just a lost one?
Yes. You can post both lost and found reports. If you found a stray, posting immediately helps reunite the animal with its owner.
What if someone finds my pet in another city?
Your alert is searchable nationally. Anyone browsing Afinderly's lost pet section can find your post regardless of location.
