Great Experience

Having posted my dog in this site helped me keep my hopes up. I constantly received potential matches of my dog. Even though I didn't find him directly in this site, it helped me feel like someone was out there helping me.

Pawboost! Your greed is showing!

I have to say I am one of the ones that didn’t like what Paw boost did. In our Grief we signed on for $154 service thinking that would be for at least a month? No! It was per week!! I feel that it is despicable to profit from other people’s grief. I won’t recommend them at all. I found more useful help for free on Facebook, which is where paw boost usually sends you anyway.

Hi Saul, thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how stressful and emotional it can be when a pet goes missing.

We apologize for any confusion regarding our paid services. All of our promotional options are set to last 7 days, and this information is shown during the service selection process and again on the checkout page. That said, we are always working to make our pricing as clear and upfront as possible, and we are sorry if this was missed.

Please note that it is free to add a pet to PawBoost. This includes posting to the lost pets Facebook page for your area, emailing local members of our Rescue Squad, creating a printable missing flyer, and adding the pet to our lost and found listings. Our Rescue Squad is made up of rescue owners, shelter employees, veterinarians, and volunteers who help keep an eye out for lost pets.

There is also an optional paid feature that allows you to turn the alert into a Facebook advertisement so it appears directly in more people’s feeds; however, this is completely optional.

If you would like us to review your alert or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@pawboost.com
We will be happy to help in any way we can!

Best lost n found pet website!

Within two days of this post going out. Someone commented with a direct location to finding my dog. This was such a helpful and convenient way to search for my dog and get information to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Will use again! What a wonderful service and to be able to use it for free, especially when times are hard is such a blessing. Absolutely loved this website.

PawBoost helped bring our dog home

PawBoost helped get the word out about our runaway dog quickly and efficiently. What a big help it was to have so many more eyes on our missing dog flyer! I believe it helped bring us the tip that brought him home.

Amazing!

Amazing!! Reunited me with my senior dog who wandered off. I couldn't be more thankful for this app!!! It also posted out to several Facebook groups for lost animals automatically after I made the paw boost post, which saved so much time and effort while I was CRASHING OUT crying trying to find my dog!

They helped me find my dog

They helped me find my dog. Someone saw my paw boost post and connected it with a Nextdoor post. They sent the person who found jacob, the link to my pawboost post. Because of this, i was able to pick him up the same day.

Zero STARS for PawBoost.com THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY

Zero STARS for PawBoost; this website will only allow an extension on your lost pet; if you pay for 49 dollars. This is ridiculous; for someone who is low income. This website is a rip off and I do not recommend it to anyone. Bird need to be left on the website for as long as the person wants until the bird is returned. I PAID 189.00 dollars when I first lost my bird; I re posted her picture; but they won't leave the free up because I don't have money to pay for it.

We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how difficult and stressful it can be when a beloved pet goes missing.

To clarify, it is free to add a pet to PawBoost and keep the alert active on our website.

We also offer optional paid services that can help increase visibility, such as promoting the alert as a Facebook and Instagram advertisement so it appears directly in more people’s feeds. These services are completely optional and do have a cost associated with them.

We would be happy to review your alert and look into what may have happened in your situation. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@pawboost.com

They made posting her super easy and were very upfront about the paid marketing they offered. They were true to their word and made it really easy to cancel our subscription once we reported her reunited. God forbid if anything happens again, I am 100% using this service again.

Rehomed found cat / second owners never found.

Was hard to list cat as found. The system automatically put as "lost" status.

My Girl, Vada

A neighbor saw my post, sent me her number, and shared her location. We were able to free Vada from barbed wire and rescue her from the thicket before the freeze comes in a few days.

Pawboost helped find my pet!

Posting my lost cat on Pawboost helped span the reach for getting Milo’s picture and story out there. With the help of other’s on social media, I was able to match a picture that Pawboost posted from my local Animal Control facility. He’s now back home safe!
