PawBoost - Lost and Found Pets

Not too sure how I feel about the app. It’s very confusing and unclear if you are posting a found lost dog or that the dog was found and reunited. Also all interactions are done through email in a non conventional manner instead of interacting and receiving messages through the app itself which is the whole point and purpose of installing any interactive app. And if you want to make a change to your post you can’t. The post you posted is shown to you as if you are a 3rd person seeing the post from a random user and because of that you can’t even adjust or change the status of your own post. It says message or call finder when I’m the finder. Apparently you have to go through the email and click at the bottom small print that says change status if this pet has been reunited instead of clicking your own post in edit mode to change the status through the app. When you go under your account the only thing you find is for you to sign out. If I go under account in any app I expect to have access to edit my post, access messages/notifications and to have clear understanding of my options for what I’m posting or have already posted. As a user I am not very happy which is why I installed different apps to help me with lost and found post. I do however appreciate the thought behind pawboost. Just wish it was more user friendly and that it made more sense.

Today I lost a part of me. My fur babe Lola. She’s a rescue Pitbull. Lola is one of a kind. She doesn’t ask for anything but your companion. If you leave her to go to the store, work, etc she freaks out...even when she’s on potty break she goes crazy. She was severely neglected and abused by her first owner so she suffers from chronic separation anxiety. Today on her potty break she broke my fence and disappeared. I though I’d never see her again. I put a post up on my local neighborhood app and two hours later a kind neighbor told me about this app. In less than a minute I had found her! Another kind family took her home and immediately posted a found pet on this app. She’s back home safe, warm, and happy. I don’t have words to describe how thankful I am for apps like these and for those who post found pets!! Definitely worth having on your phone!!

So I am a resident of Colorado. We moved from Az July 27th. Stuart decided to take a chance and jump from our second story balcony to explore new terrain. By the second day he had left us, I was having visions of all kinds of terrible things. I posted everywhere via FB. Called the shelters locally. To no avail I felt like Stuart had fallen into the bottom of a well. 😪. I was resolved to let my beloved Stuart go. I tried one more time via #pawboost. It was seen by an FB user who has the love to help. She connected me to another post (not pawboost, but rather a post is a “found” cat. Low and behold I saw a pic of Stuart. He is home. I cannot frame into words what this human did for me and my family in connecting us with someone via SM and pawboost. It is very emotional. But a very happy ending! Xo with a grateful heart.

I have never left a review for an app, but this helped me get my best friend back. I struggle with depression and anxiety and my pup keeps me sane and makes me feel not alone (if that makes sense at all). When my doggie ran away, my heart was shattered. I got so many apps and put things on Facebook to see if anyone had seen her. After posting about my lost dog and constantly refreshing on apps if anyone has seen her, I finally found her on the second day 2 minutes after a woman posted about a found dog. Without this app, I would have never found my best friend. I am so grateful to have her back.

Two of my fur babies went on a stroll and we were able to retrieve one not too long after but my tiny terrier mix still hadn’t popped up. A neighbor had mentioned this app and within minutes I was able to post a photo, time and last whereabouts along with breed and other info. By noon the next day, someone recognized my babies photo and was able to get myself in contact with the person who kindly cared for my zuke. I will definitely be using this to help other fur babies out there get home. I couldn’t imagine anything else!
