Our story

Real people, using what actually works, to help bring dogs home

Find Dogs Fast is run by Conor. For years he has built and run paid social campaigns for businesses. One day those same skills helped bring a dog home, and that changed everything.

How it began

It started with Frank

When a friend's dog went missing, the usual posters and local posts weren't reaching enough people fast enough. So Conor did what he does every day for work: he built a targeted Facebook and Instagram campaign and put Frank's photo in front of thousands of people in the right area.

It worked. Word got around, and other people started asking for the same help. Enough of them that it made sense to build this properly, so anyone with a missing dog can get their alert in front of as many local people as possible.

Why this works now

Posters get walked past. Phones don't.

Fewer people notice a poster on a lamppost than they used to. When something goes missing, most of us don't walk the streets scanning noticeboards, we scroll. So that's where your dog needs to be.

A sponsored post can reach thousands of people near where your dog went missing, on the phones they're already looking at, and every share pushes it further.

A tried and tested framework

This isn't guesswork.

We've tested and refined how these campaigns are set up for exactly this situation, so your dog is shown to engaged local people, not wasted on the wrong crowd.

The right radius

Targeted tightly around the last-seen spot, not a whole city.

The right audience

Aimed at the local people most likely to actually spot your dog.

Creative that stops the scroll

Built to make people pause and look properly, not scroll past.

Honest about what we can and cannot do

We cannot promise we will find your dog, and no one honestly can. What we add is reach, and reach fast, and that can be the difference between someone seeing your dog and not.

Please also do everything the official advice says:

  • Report to your council or animal control
  • Update your microchip details
  • Ring round local vets
  • Post in local lost-and-found groups
Where your money goes

Your payment does two things.

It covers setting the campaign up properly, and it pays for the actual ad spend that goes to Meta. That ad spend is what turns your post into a sponsored one, so Facebook and Instagram show it to as many local people as possible instead of just your own followers.

You would be surprised how many people a well-targeted campaign can reach. We put your money to work and do everything we can to get your dog seen.

Campaign setup

Every alert is built and targeted properly by Conor, never a generic template.
