Share on Social Networks
Once you discover your pet has gone missing, the most important thing is to notify people in your local area who can help to find your pet as soon as possible. We leverage social media networks to get the word out. We place each listing in numerous groups (from 20 to 100, depending on the town or city) in all major social networks. You could do this yourself, but it usually takes a lot of time and effort. Group admins are very familiar with our established system and are usually quite quick to post information. Free listings are published in a limited number of groups (usually from five to seven). With our premium service the listing will be published in all available groups in the city. Usually, between 20 to 100 groups in various social networks.
Notify Residents in your Area
Imagine that we have posted a missing pet listing to ALL active social media users in your area. Unlike paper ads, this listing will not be destroyed by car wipers, washed away by rain, or pasted over by other notices. We will set up advertising that will show your listing to social media network users who live near where your pet disappeared. Listings with this option generally receive more than 1000 views and 10 reposts or shares. This is one of the most effective ways to notify residents in your local area that your pet has gone missing, especially if there is a possibility that the pet has been found! Please note that you must specify exactly where your pet was last seen or as accurately as possible.
Notify Volunteers
We will send out a notification about a lost pet to volunteers who have registered at the location where your pet was last seen. Some volunteers may play an active role in the search themselves, for example by organizing search groups or posting traditional poster ads. Others will simply look carefully at the animals they come across on the way.
Volunteers are always interested in helping animals and their owners. According to our statistics, volunteers are one of the most effective options in our search.
Notify Veterinary Clinics and Shelters
We will send a notification about your missing pet to all official veterinary clinics and shelters in your area, and they will be aware that this pet is considered missing. As a rule, if a pet has been found on the street then it should be taken to the nearest veterinary clinic or shelter. If your pet has been adopted by those who found it, sooner or later the new ‘owners’ will also contact the veterinary clinic about possible procedures for your pet. That vet clinic will already have been notified that your pet is missing and will help reunite it with you.
Notify of Similar Missing Pets
If you do not have the opportunity to view every listing in the database, this option will send you an email with similar lost and found pets in your local area. This will speed up the process of finding a pet or owner by several times! The email will be sent out every three days and will include listings with similar missing or found pets in your area.
Premium Listings
Pet911.com.au hosts many listings each day. Your listing can get lost in the crowd and may not catch the eye of the right people the first time around. Activating the “Premium Listings” option locks your listing at the top of the list for seven days for all searches within 100 km of where your pet went missing. This is especially useful when there are suspicions that your pet could have been picked up by the roadside and taken far away from where they were last seen.
