Petco Love Lost
Whitman County Humane Society is proudly joining forces with Petco Love, a national nonprofit organization leading change for pets, and animal welfare organizations across the country, on a shared mission to help reunite lost pets with their families should they ever go missing, though Petco Love Lost. Sadly, according to industry statistics, one in every three pets will go missing in their lifetime.
Petco Love Lost is a free, easy-to-use lost-and-found tool that unifies lost and found pet listings from across the country—including posts from thousands of animal welfare organizations—into one searchable database. The platform uses AI photo-matching technology to help reunite pets by comparing images of lost pets with those of found pets. Accessible to both animal welfare organizations and the general public, Petco Love Lost allows anyone who has lost or found a pet to upload a photo and instantly search for possible matches in nearby shelters or in the community. Features include a scrollable list of pets currently in WCHS’s care and an interactive map that displays lost and found reports, shelter pets, and community posts from Neighbors and Nextdoor—all conveniently viewable on Whitman County Humane Society’s website.
“We know that one in three pets goes missing in their lifetime, an estimated 10 million pets each year, and we’re not ok with that,” said Petco Love President Chelsea Staley. “That gives us 10 million reasons why we created Petco Love Lost, because we believe nothing is more important than keeping people and pets together for a lifetime of love. Together with Whitman County Humane Society, our goal is to keep pets where they belong - at home, with you.”
