Live Recovery Network

Hope is not a strategy.

We replace static paper posters with active intervention. A scannable Smart Tag connects any finder straight to you in seconds — no app, no login, no waiting for a stranger to call the number on a soggy flier.

What a Recovery Looks Like

We're early — these are examples of what a Smart Tag scan and reunion look like, not a live feed of real reports yet.

The Reality of the Shelter System

Every year, over 10 million pets go missing in the United States. Historically, return-to-owner (RTO) rates at municipal shelters are staggering: only 10% to 30% for dogs and under 5% for cats. The system is broken. We use technology to fix it.

Found a Roaming Pet? Just Report It.

You don't need to approach or catch them. Take a photo, drop your location if you're comfortable sharing it, and submit a report — anonymously, with no account required.

Shelter Cross-Referencing — In Progress

We're building direct integrations with shelter management systems so intake photos automatically cross-reference against active lost reports. It's not live yet — we'd rather say so than oversell it.

Secure & Private Proxies

The moment a finder scans your pet's tag, our Twilio-powered proxy connects you both via masked SMS. Neither of you ever sees the other's real number — live today, not a someday feature.

I Found a Pet. Now What?

You are the hero in this story. We've removed all friction so you can safely and anonymously reunite a lost pet with their family in seconds.

Scenario A: Pet is Wearing a Tag

The Frictionless Scan

1. Scan or Tap (No App Needed)

Simply open your smartphone camera and point it at the QR code, or tap the NFC tag. You will instantly view the pet's public profile and medical alerts. No app downloads required.

2. One-Click GPS Pin

Your browser will ask for location access. With one tap, precise GPS coordinates are instantly dispatched to the owner's phone, showing them exactly where their pet is.

3. Anonymous Contact Proxy

Tap "Contact Owner". Our Twilio-powered system masks your phone number and routes the call or SMS securely. Your personal information is never exposed.

Scenario B: No Collar or Roaming

AI Visual Recognition

1. Snap a Photo Safely

If the animal is loose or lacks a collar, do not chase them. Take a clear photo of their face and body from a safe distance using your smartphone camera.

2. Report It to the Network

Click "Report a Found Pet" on our site and submit the photo. Share your location with one tap if you're comfortable, or skip it — either way, you can do this completely anonymously.

3. Your Report Is Recorded

We're building AI matching that will cross-reference found-pet reports against active lost reports and shelter intakes automatically. It's not live yet — for now, your report is safely on record for the team to review.

The Recovery Engine

Time is the enemy of recovery. We engineered a three-pillar system designed to collapse the recovery window from days down to hours.

Phase 01

Get a Smart Tag, Live Today

Register your pet and activate a physical Smart Tag — QR code and NFC chip. Any finder who scans it lands on your pet's profile instantly, no app or account needed on their end.

Phase 02

AI Shelter Matching — In Development

We're building a matching engine that compares your lost pet's photo against shelter intake records automatically. It's in active development against real intake data — not live yet, and we won't call it finished until it earns that.

Phase 03

Automated Meta & Nextdoor Ads — Coming Soon

The plan: replace the telephone pole with programmatic, geo-targeted ad campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, and Nextdoor, reaching the neighbors closest to where your pet was last seen. On the roadmap, not live yet.
