The quick answer is — as long as it takes to find your lost dog or cat.

Here at Pet Amber Alert, we’ve heard many stories of pet owners reuniting with their missing pets after several weeks or even months of searching.

Sometimes a missing pet wanders into a new community, far away from home, and is taken in by a well-meaning person who doesn’t know how to reach you.

For example, an Arizona ABC TV report tells the story of a cat found three months after being lost. Since the cat’s Pet Amber Alert listing was still active and seen by someone at a community church, it was a good-news story for the missing “Mr. Puss” and his owner. The church was three miles away from the last known location.

This means if you don’t find your lost dog or cat in a couple weeks, don’t give up!

Pet Amber Alert’s state-of-the-art Online Pets-Lost-and-Found Database is here for you now and for months to come.

When you call us to report a missing pet or you complete our online Pet Amber Alert form, our Certified Pet Detectives spring into action and enter your pet’s vital information into our advanced online pet profile system.

Then, we dispatch that information in the form of phone calls and poster alerts to hundreds of neighbors and pet organizations in the area. When someone finds your dog or cat, they can use our easy online search functionality to locate your pet’s profile and contact information.

Even if your pet has been missing for a while… our database can be super-helpful.

We keep all pets in our Lost-and-Found Database for at least 2 years or until they are found.

Other services delete pet information after only 90 days! So in the Mr. Puss case mentioned above, it would have been a sad story if they’d used one of those lost-pet services.

Pet Amber Alert gives you your greatest hope of reuniting with your pet, no matter how long he or she has been missing.

When your dog or cat is lost and you select Pet Amber Alert’s phone service as part of your alert package, our dispatchers spring into action to call every house in the neighborhood your pet was last seen.

But here’s what you may not know about these phone alerts.

We use up to 60 seconds to provide detailed information about your lost pet. 

This means we have plenty of time to provide specific details about your pet’s name, descriptions and last-known whereabouts… plus your contact information along with our web address.

Our lost-pet phone alerts include something no other lost-pet finder does. We repeat your critical information.

You see, other lost-pet services offer just the “30 seconds or less” phone alerts. This only gives them time to provide your pet’s info once.

Studies have proven that repeating the info twice is much more memorable and helpful.

Neighbors and pet-care locations tend to remember the following critical facts after hearing our phone alerts:

• This is a Pet Amber Alert (recognized as a trusted, national program)
• Your first name, noting that you’re a neighbor (mentioned 2 times)
• Your pet’s name (mentioned 3 times)
• Your pet’s physical description (mentioned 2 times)
• The PetAmberAlert.com website

Usually this level of detailed, repeated information takes close to 50 seconds… and it really does help your neighbors recall the information when they find your pet.

“A neighbor heard the phone Amber Alert and called me. He had Arti taken by Animal Control. We were able to get him immediately. I cannot thank your organization enough. I can now sleep at night knowing my pet is safe and secure. Thank you so much.” Helen Sutton Cat Named Artichoke Found with Phone Alert in Denver, CO 80206

When your beloved pet is missing, make sure you take advantage of the full 60-second phone message for your best chance at a reunion. PetAmberAlert.com is the only service offering 60-second phone alerts to help you find a lost dog or cat..

Two days ago, I was walking my dog in our neighborhood… and a woman drove up to me with a frantic look on her face. She said, “Have you seen a fluffy white cat wandering around?”

I said, “I’m sorry, I haven’t. But I’ll keep an eye out. What’s your cat’s name?”

She said, “Whitey… and we live just over there.” She pointed to her house down the street and then drove off.

As I continued on my walk, I could see her slowly driving up and down nearby streets, searching for her cat.

Ugh. My heart went out to her.

That’s the toughest way to try and find a lost cat or dog.

Driving down streets and asking neighbors, one-by-one, is a painfully slow and often fruitless way to find a lost
and possibly frightened pet. The other approach many people take is to post flyers on telephone poles. This is
slow, painstaking and will reach only a limited number or people. A missing pet is an emergency and time
is of the essence… the community needs to know your missing pet’s name, description and your contact
information… NOW!

Unfortunately, this rarely works. Most people who see your pet may not know have seen the flyer and don’t realize he or she is missing.

” How can I possible describe your service other then totally efficient, the out reach was amazing and you did make a miracle happen! How else does a small lovebird make it from Daly City to Petaluma in three days and then find herself back in the arms of her family in San Francisco! “

Clients Personal Story: I received a phone call from a man named Chris in Petaluma CA. At5:30pm. He told me he thought he had my bird . This is his story: he was attending a wake for his father in law in Daly City on March 19. He heard a group of crows squawking outside a window and looked down to see a small green bird starting to be pecked at. He opened the window and she flew in and landed on his brother inlaws arm. He went out and bought a cage and some food for her. One of his wife’s cousins took a picture of this bird inside the cage with her phone. Chris took the bird back to his home in Petaluma and bought some more toys and pellet nibbles for her. ( Siri is a very friendly bird and actually wags her tail when she is happy to see people she knows and/or likes. ) I think if a bird flew in through a window on the day on my fathers wake I would see it as a sign too! I don’t blame them for wanting to keep her at all. They never said this but he sold me the cage and everything in it and it was set up beautifully! I also felt some sadness from both of them but mostly glad they helped make a happy ending come true. He held the phone up to her and I spoke to her for a few seconds. They said she was getting very excited/anxious so they took the phone away. I knew then it had to be her. Chris told me that his wife’s cousin new someone who worked as a coordinator for Ringneck and Rosella , Conure and Education Teams. I guess she told her about this incident and sent her the photo. It was women named Priya Tuvell, the coordinator who gets the petamberalerts and noticed the unmistakable markings on Siri. She had actually sent me an email @3:30 that afternoon but I had not checked my email that evening. The story was a lot different so after we drove up to get Siri (in the wake of dispare coupled with some hope and pure shock. (We had given her up as three nights outside in the cold was not feeling likely to have a good outcome.) we got her and were so thankful but just trusted out hearts and of course recognized her and she rushed to out hands through the cage to nibble at our fingers , I hung up her snuggle hut for the long ride home. She literally passed out! After I put her to bed in her room I checked mt email. It was from Priya and her text was that a friend of her had a cousin who found a lovebird at a cemetery in San Francisco and she didn’t know what happened to it exactly. She thought her cousin and husband may have left it at the mortuary there and I should try to call them. Then I saw thus picture of a bird in s cage. I emailed her back and said it wasent my bird because I just found mine and I couldnt see the grey cheeks in this bird. I said I would try to help find the owner of that bird though . I sent the email. Then I looked at the photo again and noticed the swirls on the cage door. I ran in to look at this new cage Siri was now in and the cage design matched! Wow, was I still in denial, shock, or what?! I emailed again and retold the story I had. She confirmed the fathers funeral and then we new we had a match. So the connection was there!
