Disaster Pet Locator
About Us
Our pets ARE our family! We totally get the anguish of losing a pet on top of experiencing a disaster! We love our fellow rescuers who tirelessly and selflessly claw their way to saving pets caught in the mire of a natural disaster. We especially love search and rescue dogs that find and save people and pets lives.
We are tech nerds, pet parents and pet aficionados and globe trekkers. We are ready to help you!
Most importantly, we are hopeful that through the use of open source technologies, we can provide a platform for pet friendly and advocate minded people through out the world to ease the stress of people who have lost their pets during a disaster.
We welcome creating partnerships with rescuers, communities of lost and found pets, vet clinics, pet owners, pet finders to centralize and share the information.
Submit information about a pet you’ve lost or a pet you’ve found so that the pet can be reconnected with their family.
We work with partner organizations to provide information to people across the globe about their displaced pets during a time of stress and uncertainty. It is our hope to make their search easier and centralized.

- Vet Clinics
- Rescues/Shelters
- Kennels
- Nonprofits
