Bounty Go

Someone near you is looking for their dog right now. You are probably going to walk past it. Bounty Go is a live map of lost pets and missing things in your neighbourhood. Every pin was posted by the owner who lost it, and every pin carries a real cash reward for whoever brings it home. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the map Lost pets and lost things near you show up as pins. Each one says what it is, roughly where it went missing, and what the owner is offering. 2. Keep half an eye out A search zone is 300 m to 2.5 km across, which is about the size of a normal walk. Spotted something? Reporting a sighting takes seconds, and the owner hears about it straight away. 3. Hand it back You arrange the handover in the app with a one-time code, so both sides know they are meeting the right person. Then the owner pays you the reward, face to face. ABOUT THE MONEY, PLAINLY The reward is an offer from the owner. It is not a payment we process. When you return something the owner pays you directly, in cash or by transfer, however the two of you agree. Bounty Go never takes a percentage and never holds the money. That cuts both ways: because we never touch the reward, we cannot guarantee it either. We remove suspicious listings and ban people who post rewards they do not intend to pay, but the deal itself belongs to the two of you. What keeps the lights on: owners pay a small fee to post a listing, and can pay to boost one. That is the whole business. YOUR LOCATION STAYS YOURS A listing's pin is deliberately wrong. It sits 80 to 250 metres from where the pet was actually last seen, and only the owner ever sees the true spot. Your own position is never shown to anyone: not to owners, not to finders, not on any public map. MEETING PEOPLE Handovers use a one-time code, so nobody hands a pet to the wrong person. Meet somewhere public. Report anything that feels off and we act on it within 24 hours. Lose something and your street becomes a search party. Find something and you are the reason it got home.
