San Antonio, Texas, USA – October 8, 2024:
In the wake of devastating natural disasters, the loss of a beloved pet can be just as heartbreaking as the destruction of property. To help reunite lost pets with their families, the national nonprofit Petco Love is urging individuals to utilize its free Love Lost national database. Powered by advanced AI technology, the database allows users to search for their missing pets using a single photo.
"Every pet is a cherished member of the family, and during a disaster, the uncertainty can be overwhelming," said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. "Love Lost is designed to give families hope and the tools they need to find their pets."
Love Lost is a comprehensive online resource that enables pet parents and finders to report and search for lost pets. This user-friendly platform has proven invaluable in helping reunite displaced pets with their worried families, even across state lines.
Petco Love is committed to supporting animal welfare organizations impacted by disasters. The nonprofit has pledged up to $1 million in funding to its partners in the regions affected by recent storms, including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
By leveraging technology and community support, Love Lost offers a glimmer of hope for pet owners who have lost their furry companions during natural disasters. The database has already helped reunite nearly 60,000 pet parents with their beloved pets across the United States.
