## What is Animalert?

A missing pet means a home waiting.

Animalert alerts the people who are near the place an animal went missing. Not one more post in a feed: a signal that lands where someone can still spot them.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Report the animal in under a minute, with photos and where they were last seen.
2. People who live or pass nearby get the alert on their phone.
3. Whoever comes across them can reach you straight from the report.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Report an animal as lost, as found, or as dead so their family can know
- See what has been reported around you on a map
- Get alerts for the places your life happens: home, work, two favourite spots, and wherever you are right now
- Generate a print-ready poster and a shareable story straight from the report
- Set your pet's profile up in advance, so launching the alert takes one tap on the day it matters
- Keep their emergency card in Apple Wallet, so the people close to them can be reached even when you cannot be
- Add the home screen widget and see reports without opening the app

Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, tortoises, ferrets, horses: every animal belongs here, including the ones everyone forgets.

YOUR LOCATION STAYS YOURS

No one sees your location on Animalert. It tells us which alerts concern you, nothing else. No ads, no data resale, no advertising identifier.

When someone views your number to reach you, it is logged and you can see who did. Your report stays yours.

A NON-PROFIT, NOT A COMPANY

Animalert is a French registered non-profit (association loi 1901, RNA W 751 273 035), run by volunteers. The app is free, ad-free, and has no paid tier. You can support us with a donation if you want to, but nothing will ask you to in order to use it.

Thank you for keeping watch with us.
