Why Community Alerts Work So Well

Scientific research shows that community-based search methods are dramatically more effective than traditional approaches for finding missing pets.

Community Alert Networks (like FetchSafe)

89% success rate within 7 days
4.2 hours average time to reunion
Instant coverage of entire neighborhoods
24/7 vigilance from multiple volunteers

Traditional Methods (flyers, lone searches)

45% success rate within 7 days
2-5 days average time to find
Limited geographic coverage
Weather dependent, daylight limited

The power of many eyes: When 100+ neighbors are aware and looking, missing dogs are spotted much faster than when only one or two family members are searching.

Morning Jogger • Hero Volunteer

"I saw the FetchSafe alert for a missing Golden Retriever during my morning jog. Twenty minutes later, I spotted him at the park where I run. I messaged the owner through the app and waited with the dog. The family was reunited before I even finished my coffee!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Being a hero was easier than I thought."

James T.

Dog Walker • Community Volunteer

"As someone who walks dogs professionally, I signed up for FetchSafe alerts to help my community. Last month, I found a scared Beagle hiding under a car. Thanks to the detailed alert description, I knew exactly who to contact. The reunion was incredible!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Every dog walker should subscribe to these alerts."

Lisa K.

Frequently Asked Questions About Helping Find Missing Dogs

Everything you need to know about becoming a community volunteer

Simply click "Subscribe to Alerts" and enter your email address and ZIP code. You'll immediately start receiving notifications when dogs go missing in your area. It's completely free and you can unsubscribe anytime. We only send alerts for your immediate neighborhood to keep notifications relevant.

Safety first! Don't chase the dog - this can make them run further. Take a photo if possible, note the exact location, and immediately message the owner through FetchSafe. If the dog seems friendly and approachable, try to contain them safely while you wait for the owner. If they seem scared or aggressive, keep your distance and just report the sighting.

Most volunteers receive 2-5 alerts per month, depending on your area. We only send alerts for dogs missing within a few miles of your location, so notifications are relevant and manageable. You can adjust your alert radius or unsubscribe anytime if needed.

Yes! We never share your personal information with anyone. When you report a sighting, you communicate with dog owners through our secure messaging system - they never see your email address or phone number. You're in complete control of your privacy.

Not at all! The most important thing is simply having eyes and caring about your community. Most successful sightings come from people doing their normal daily activities - walking, jogging, driving to work, or just looking out their window. No special training required.

Perfect! You can help by sharing missing dog alerts on your social media, telling neighbors about FetchSafe, or simply staying subscribed to alerts. Even if you never spot a missing dog yourself, you're still part of the network that makes community search possible.
