To reunite lost dogs with their owners, the Humane Society turns to texting
To help reunite thousands of pets who are lost each year with their owners, the San Diego Humane Society launched a new cell phone texting program Tuesday to give San Diegans tips on how to find their missing pets sooner.
Lost2Found, a one-way communication system, provides automated texts with step-by-step instructions over a two-month period to help people know what to do as they search. “Nobody thinks it will happen to them — until it does,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society.One in three pets will become lost at some point during their lives, the organization says. Last year, it took in nearly 19,000 stray pets, only 22 percent of which were reunited with their families.
Then, pet owners are sent 28 messages over 60 days that include a comprehensive list of tools, tips and timely information for the Humane Society, online groups and partner organizations. “Now, if the unthinkable happens, our new Lost2Found texting platform can help pet parents navigate a very stressful time,” Weitzman added.
