Lost Pet Finders Celebrates 13000 Members

Announcement posted by Lost Pet Finders 06 Jun 2014

In the few short years of operation Lost Pet Finders membership expects to reach 13000 Australia wide this week.

Nothing is worse than discovering your pet is missing.  You panic. You worry.  You’re unsure of what to do next. But as a member of Lost Pet Finders, you have access to our exclusive Pet Alert System that gets your message out quickly to thousands of people in your local area – including your neighbours, vets, shelters and pounds.  We believe that the more people who are looking for your pet, the greater the chance of finding them.

The Lost Pet Finders network not only covers local vets, shelters and pounds – we reach out to the local community as well.  With just one alert you can literally reach thousands of people who spread the word fast.  Lost Pet Finders doesn't just find dogs – we reunite cats and birds with their owners as well.

LostPetFinders.com.au innovative online phone service allows the owners of lost pets to quickly broadcast the details of their lost pet to relevant professionals and individuals in their area, to quickly find their lost animal.

The idea was born when, some years ago, LostPetFinders.com.au CEO Tony Ryder lost his dog Jessy. “The feeling of dread was horrible,” he says. “I quickly found that there was no-one to assist.” Tony faced a difficult choice: “Do I spend time contacting vets and pounds, or should I be outside looking? It was a very stressful time.” Although Jessy was found shortly afterwards (the kids who were playing with him had already started talking about adopting him), Tony says that he learned that time is critical when finding a lost pet. When he later came across technology allowing telemarketers to make automated, geographically targeted bulk calls at an affordable rate per call, PET ALERT was born.
