Reuniting Lost Pets with Petco Love Lost

Fishy's & PetcoLove-Lost

At Fishy's Friends Rescue, reuniting lost pets with their families is at the heart of our mission. We're thrilled to partner with Petco Love Lost, a revolutionary, free national platform that utilizes cutting-edge facial recognition technology to help reunite lost pets with their owners.

Every year, nearly 10 million pets go missing in the U.S. . Petco Love Lost simplifies the search by providing a centralized database where pet parents and finders can upload a photo of a lost or found pet. The system then scans thousands of listings from shelters, rescues, and individuals nationwide to find potential matches, making the reunion process faster and more efficient.

How to Use Petco Love Lost to Help Find Your Pet

If your pet is missing — or you’ve found one wandering — we know how urgent and emotional this moment can be. That’s why we’ve partnered with Petco Love Lost, a powerful, free platform designed to bring lost and found pets back home quickly and safely.

Step 1: Click “Lost Pet” or “Found Pet”

Start by clicking the “Lost Pet” or “Found Pet” button below. You’ll be guided through uploading a clear photo of the pet and providing key details like breed, size, location last seen (or found), and your contact information.

Step 2: Facial Recognition Gets to Work

Once your report is submitted, Petco Love Lost’s facial recognition technology immediately scans its national database of shelter intakes, public reports, and other listings to look for a match.

What Happens After You Submit Your Report?

Once your pet is reported lost or found, here’s what happens next:

  • Your pet will automatically appear on the interactive map featured on this page. This map updates in real time, showing all lost and found pet reports to increase visibility and local support.
  • Your report also connects to platforms like Nextdoor and the Ring Neighbors app, where people in your community frequently post about missing or found animals.
  • If a matching pet is posted on either of those platforms, Petco Love Lost scans the images using facial recognition and cross-references them with your report.
  • If a match is found, you will be notified via the contact information you provided, whether it’s from a public sighting, a community post, or a shelter intake.

One Report. One Map. One Mission.

This powerful tool gathers and filters thousands of lost and found pet reports into one easy-to-navigate place, so you don’t have to chase leads across multiple websites. At Fishy’s Friends Rescue, pet recovery is a top priority, and we’re proud to offer the most advanced support available to help bring your loved ones home.

Reporting a Found Pet

If you’ve found a pet wandering or in your care, thank you for stepping up. Helping them get home safely starts right here. Petco Love Lost lets you upload a photo and key details. This free tool checks the national database and helps connect them back to the people missing them so badly.



Why this Matters

The faster we report and search, the greater the chance of a reunion. Petco Love Lost helps prevent pets from entering shelters or staying lost for long. This tool has helped thousands already. Together, we can keep families whole and get more pets back home where they belong.



One Powerful Tool. All the Right Places.

When a pet goes missing, every minute matters — and every post, sighting, or share counts. That’s why Petco Love Lost doesn’t just stop at their own database. It connects with widely used community platforms like Nextdoor and the Ring Neighbors app, expanding the reach of your lost or found pet alert far beyond your immediate circle.

Using advanced facial recognition software, Petco Love Lost scans uploaded photos of pets and cross-references them with thousands of found pet reports and shelter intakes — including posts from those neighborhood-based apps. This means your lost dog’s face isn’t just sitting in one system; it’s being actively matched across multiple platforms where people report sightings and pets every day.

At Fishy's Friends, pet recovery is personal. We believe in using every tool available to help bring lost pets safely back home. Petco Love Lost helps us funnel, sort, and match the faces that matter most — because every lost pet deserves to be found.

PetcoLove-Lost Live Interactive Mapping

Think of the PAWtential When We All Come Together

Even if you don’t currently have a lost or found pet, you can still play a vital role in reuniting pets with their families. Every set of eyes helps. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Check the interactive map regularly for pets reported lost in your area.
  • Search social media for posts about missing pets. If you spot one that matches a listing on the map, let the pet parent know.
  • Share this lost and found page with your neighborhood groups, friends, and family. Every share counts and could be the one that brings a pet home.

As part of our commitment to pet recovery, Fishy's Friends Rescue offers:

  • Discounted microchips, QR-coded ID tags, and recovery support
  • A detailed Pet Recovery Resource Page to help you stay informed and prepared
  • 24/7 microchip scanners installed at fire stations in Geronimo, Elgin, Medicine Park, and Cache — available anytime to help scan a lost pet and speed up reunification

And we’re not stopping there — four more scanner locations are coming soon to Lawton.

Together, we can create a community where every lost pet has a path back home. Thank you for being part of the movement.
