Animal Services, Shelters and Humane Societies are joining and using HeLP
	Over 65 Animal Services, Shelters and Humane Societies have joined HeLP. We have many shelters that use our website to list their found strays.  This makes it easier for the public to search multiple shelters for their missing pet on one website. Saving people time searching online, means they can spend more time physically searching for their pet. Many of these organizations have our link on their website so the public can post Lost Pets for FREE.
Have you set your location so you can receive alerts for pets near you?
	How many pets go missing within 2 miles of you?  Thankfully, it's not many and so you won't be inundated with emails for pets outside your area. You choose how big or small to make your alert area. It's just one of the many features of our website that make it so effective.  And don't forget, please add your Safe pets to our website now.  We hope you never need us, but if you do, you won't waste valuable time in adding your missing pet. Here's a tutorial that shows you how to set your location and alert radius: www.helpinglostpets.com/settingyourlocation.htm
Contact Phone Number now Mandatory for All Lost / Found Listings
	We have recently made it mandatory for all lost / found pet listings to now include your phone number to contact you. Your phone number is not made public. We also urge you to authorize any animal control, shelter or veterinarian to contact you if they believe they have found your pet. You do this when you list your pet by clicking on a checkbox after you have entered your phone number. Our members have thousands of pets also listed as Safe on our website.  We also recommend you micro-chip your pet and license your pet with your local municipality.  We all want your pet back home if they go missing.
FastMatchtm can help you find your pet
	Fast Matchtm (FM) makes it easy to scan lost and found listings and match a lost listing with a found listing. Anyone can use FM. There are thousands of volunteers across the country that help people find their pet. Please be sure to let people know that in order for FM to work, the pets must be listed on (HeLP).
