The Hawaiʻi Island Humane Society is joining forces with the national non-profit Petco Love, to help reunite lost pets with their families.
Petco Love Lost is a new, searchable national database that uses patented facial recognition technology to make finding lost pets quicker and easier. This tool will be easily accessible to participating animal organizations nationwide, as well as any pet parent or person who finds a lost pet.
Uploaded photos of a missing dog or cat are immediately scanned to determine whether the lost pet is at a participating shelter or with a neighbor in the community. Participating organizations currently utilizing this technology include: Hawaiʻi Island Humane Society’s Keaau Shelter, the Animal Community Center in Kona, County of Hawaiʻi Animal Control Services and Hawaiʻi Animal Kuleana Alliance.
