Our Mission Is To Provide One Website
Where Every Lost/Found Pet Is Listed� HeLP includes listings from the public
� Shelters, Humane Societies, Animal Control Agencies
� Veterinarian Clinics
� It’s FREE and it’s National
Why a National Website?
� Pets don’t know where county or state borders are and often end up in the wrong shelter.
� Pet Owners face a massive task of trying to find where they should list and worry that they may have missed one.
� When travelling with your pet, having volunteers that can help you to spread the word if your pet went missing, is invaluable.

We Believe Every Pet Should Be
Microchipped And Tagged, BUT:
� You can’t scan a pets microchip if you can’t catch them
� The scan of the pet may miss the microchip
� People are less likely to take a cat that is wandering to get their microchip scanned
HeLP Makes a Difference When Widely
Used In The Community
“I have to give you a compliment on how well this has worked for us. The majority of lost and
found reports are now coming through your site. There have been several days I come in, get the email alerts, and then see that dog come in
the shelter later in the day.
It has helped us more quickly get the dogs out of the shelter and back into homes”.

Nathan Winograd’s No Kill Equation states:
“One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in
animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims”
FACT: Reuniting pets with their people is the most
cost-effective way to increase your shelter’s live
release rate.
