## What is PawBoost?

Lost a pet? PawBoost is here to raise local awareness for your missing family member!

PawBoost is like an AMBER Alert for lost pets. Over 5 million pet lovers have signed up for our local lost & found pet alerts. This compassionate group of do gooders is called the PawBoost Rescue Squad.

The Rescue Squad has helped reunite over 1 MILLION lost pets with their families! And whether you have a lost dog, lost cat, lost bird, or lost something else entirely – the Rescue Squad is here to help you, too.

If you have LOST or FOUND a pet, you can report it by downloading the app, creating an account, then clicking the 'Report' button. Note: You will need a photo of your pet in order to complete the report.

Here's what will happen next:

1. Your lost or found pet will be posted to the PawBoost-powered Facebook page for your area. Be sure to comment on the post so that you will get notified when other people comment.

2. Alerts will go out to local PawBoost email subscribers and app users.

3. Your pet will be added to our lost & found, the largest lost & found pets database on the web with thousands of pets added every day. Be sure to check our database frequently so you don’t miss out on a connection!

4. We'll create a printable flyer for your lost or found pet. Post these around your neighborhood and hand them out to neighbors and local businesses.

5. You can supercharge your PawBoost Alert with a locally-targeted Facebook or Instagram ad campaign. Get more views, more shares, more leads, and most importantly: A better chance of a happy reunion.
