Zero time commitment Choose how you’re notified ~5 alerts/year

Get a heads-up when a pet goes missing near you.

Most recoveries start with one thing: a credible sighting. Alerts help you notice a loose pet, drive a bit more cautiously, and report what you see. You can start with alerts only — volunteering is optional.

Choose your alert methods

Select one or more ways to receive a single notification when a pet goes missing near your ZIP code. (Typical volume: about 5 notifications per year.)

We only use your ZIP code to determine which local alerts to send.
Text (SMS) Fastest for most people. Requires mobile number.
Email Good backup method. Requires email address.
App Push Notification Requires the TailTracker app (optional).
Phone Call (Voice) For urgent attention. Requires phone number.
WhatsApp Popular internationally. Requires WhatsApp number.
Telegram Requires Telegram handle (optional).
Note: Some methods may be enabled later as the network expands. You can update preferences anytime.
