From Intake to Engagement: Keeping and Getting More Lost Pets Home
At Petco Love Lost, we envision a world where most lost pets are reunited in the community instead of flooding shelters, and those who do enter the shelter return home quickly. We’re absolutely committed to making this vision a reality.
We created this workbook to give shelters and rescues the tools and information needed to dramatically increase the number of lost and stray pets in their communities that are reunited with their families. Lost pets make up around 60% of the animals entering open-admission animal shelters and lost pet reunification rates vary widely depending on the practices and policies of each shelter.

We’re inspired by the examples of organizations like Pima Animal Care Center, who not only was one of the first organizations to replace all their lost and found reports with Petco Love Lost, but created a system that invites the public to help keep lost pets out of their shelter. And it’s working. In just one year, they’ve doubled their return-to-owner rate, kept pets out of the shelter, and saved their staff countless hours by outsourcing some of the work to us.
We cannot stress enough the importance of all of us using one single database for lost and found pets. That, along with groundbreaking image recognition technology, is at the heart of what Petco Love Lost offers. It’s the reason we integrate with major platforms like Ring and Neighbors and most shelter software systems. Petco Love lost is bringing all lost and found pets into one place where they can most easily be reunited with their owners. After all, as we like to say, “If they all go in, they all go home.”
