Frequently asked questions

Is FoundRadar really free?

Yes. Posting a lost or found report, printing your flyer and sharing it are all free, and there is never a fee. We never charge and never ask for payment, so anyone asking you for money in FoundRadar's name is not us.

Who runs FoundRadar?

FoundRadar is a free, volunteer-run lost pet network. It is not a government service and is not affiliated with any shelter, animal control agency or other lost pet site.

Do I need an account to post a report?

No. You fill out the report and give us your email, and we send you a private manage link you can use to edit, extend or close your report.

What happens after I submit a report?

Your report gets a public page, a printable flyer and share links you can post anywhere. It is also queued for neighborhood alerts near the spot where your pet was last seen.

Will my address and phone number be public?

No. The exact pin you drop stays private and only an approximate area is shown on your report. Your phone number is hidden unless you choose to show it, and people can reach you through a contact form instead.

How long does a report stay up?

Reports stay active for 60 days. You can extend or close yours at any time from your manage link.

I found a dog or cat. What should I do?

Post a free found report so the owner can find it, and take the pet to a vet clinic or shelter for a free microchip scan. It also helps to report the found pet to your local shelter or animal control and check your city or county rules.

How do I stay safe when someone says they found my pet?

Never pay anyone before you see your pet in person and confirm it is yours, and never share a verification code sent to your phone. Ask about a detail you did not publish, meet in a public place and bring someone with you.

Can I post from any state?

Yes. You can post a lost or found report from anywhere in the United States.

How do I remove my report?

Open the private manage link from your email and close the report. If you lost the link, contact us and we will help you remove it.
