Terms and Conditions for using Lost2Found text app.

Click on the link above to look to see if an owner has reported the dog you found as missing.

If you have not already done so, text FOUND to 864-467-3950. This provides all of the information you need to help you reunite the dog you found with its lost owner.

If you cannot text, follow this checklist below.

• Fill out a found pet report on our website.
• If the dog is wearing a tag with a phone number, call and send a text. People tend to be more responsive to texts than phone calls from unknown callers.
• Look through the list of dogs reported missing by their owners to see if you can find a match.
• Check for a microchip by having the found pet scanned at a local shelter, vet, or fire department.
• Go to Nextdoor, find your neighborhood, and post a picture and description of the dog you found. Scroll through your neighbor posts to see if any of your neighbors lost a dog and posted it there.
• There are many Facebook pages and websites that you can post pictures of the dog you found. You can also search to see if anyone has posted their missing dog.

More importantly, PawBoost has helped reunite over 1 million pets with their families. Posting is free, with optional premium services available.
• Go to Craigslist Lost and Found postings to see if anyone has lost a dog like the one you have found. You can also post a lost pet report there.
• Register with Petco Love Lost, a free facial recognition app that scans the features of a pet’s face. With the app, you can take a photo of the dog and report it as being found.
• Loose dogs tend to live within a few blocks of where they were found.

• Post large flyers at major intersections around your neighborhood. Make a flyer here.
