An optional next step

Start with 1,000 reach.
Expand when you choose.

We fund the boosting for your free starter. An optional upgrade pays Facebook and Instagram to show your dog’s photo to more people around the last-seen area, beyond those who find it through normal posts and shares.

70% of your upgrade goes directly to Meta—the company behind Facebook and Instagram—as advertising spend. The other 30% covers our setup, management and reporting. See where your money goes and how many people the ad reaches.

A sighting can help.

Browse dog listings and community reports. Your dog’s listing appears here as soon as it’s published.

Community reports include older posts. Check the date and latest status before sharing; a report here doesn’t confirm a dog is still missing.

Why we started

It started with Frank.

When Frank went missing, friends searched and shared his photo. Conor used his advertising experience to put that photo in front of more people nearby.

Frank came home. That experience became Find Dogs Fast: helping more local people recognise a missing dog, while their owner keeps searching.

A few things you might be wondering.

Is it really free, or will I have to pay later?

Your account, dog’s listing, share link, Facebook Page post and starter with 1,000 reach guaranteed are free. We fund the starter boosting. Paid upgrades are optional; declining one does not hide your listing or lock your sightings. No card or $1 verification charge is required to get started.

How does the 1,000 reach guarantee work?

We share your dog on our Facebook Page and fund boosting until the accepted starter reaches at least 1,000 in Meta’s reporting. We cover that funding, even if you later buy an upgrade. Your report shows the measured progress and the period it covers. This is a reach commitment, not a promise of sightings or recovery.

Where will you post my dog?

Your dog gets a public website listing and a post on the Find Dogs Fast Facebook Page. We do not automatically post in every local Facebook group. You can share the listing in your own groups, with neighbours and with people helping you search.

Do I have to pay to read or report a sighting?

No. Owners can read reports in their private dashboard without an upgrade. Someone reporting a possible sighting through the public listing does not need an account or payment. A place, time and useful description help the owner follow up.

Can you guarantee that my dog will be found?

No. We help people recognise your dog and provide a way to send possible sightings. Reach, clicks and shares cannot guarantee a reunion. Keep using local groups, posters, vets, shelters and your microchip register alongside your alert.
