Online Service for Lost Pets

There's an online service called "FindToto.com," very much like an Amber Alert for stolen or lost pets. This service was started by a pet owner whose cat became lost and saw what a time-consuming and difficult undertaking it was to call all their neighbors and post fliers.


An advantage to this service is that you don't need to sign up for it ahead of time, but it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the site and bookmark it just in case. Then if you ever lose a pet, go to their site, sign up for the service, and within the hour they are alerting your neighbors to be on the lookout. It operates 7 days a week and the charge is based on how many neighbors you'd like them to call, ranging from $59.99 to $500 (for $59.99 they will call 250 neighbors).

We will keep a permanent link to this site here on our sidebar just in case you ever find yourself in need of their services. We can tell you that this service does exactly what it claims to do. In February, we received an alert on our answering machine that a dog was missing in the Genoa area. Checking back later, it showed the dog had been found and returned to her owner safely.
