Helping Lost Pets  (HeLP) is not just a website to help you find your pet, it's a pet help network. A community of pet lovers with a common purpose, to help pets and their guardians to enjoy a long, happy and healthy life together.

People bring pets into their lives because they want to experience the joy of a companion animal. In our new age of social conscience and social media, there has never been a better time to network the pet community in a way that has never been done before.

This new central database will greatly reduce the time required to notify others that may be able to help the pet back home and will make it much easier to match a lost pet with it's owner.

HeLP will get the message out quickly and to members in the area. It will allow a poster to be instantly printed and distributed. The faster a message can be put out, the better the chance of finding the pet. People with a missing pet are spending hours and hours posting on many different sites. They could be spending this time searching for their pet. If someone finds their pet, the pets family may not be found because the lost and found listings are not in the same location.

HeLP sends lost and found pet information to members in the area. Each member chooses the coverage area they wish to receive pet alerts for. Pet alerts are now much more relevant and receive more attention.

Many similar services in use today charge a listing fee. The usage of HeLP is absolutely free. The development and ongoing costs are fully supported by advertising and sponsors.

So if you have lost or found a pet, or want to know if a pet is lost near you. If you want to find an emergency vet clinic, veterinarian, pet store, pet groomer, dog trainer, doggie day care, pet shelter, pet rescue or any other pet service provider,  then join our community. It's map based, so you can pinpoint where a pet was lost or find pet services.
