Neighbourhood lost & found for pets

Bring lost pets home, together.

When a pet goes missing, every extra pair of eyes matters. Beacon rallies your neighbourhood with a photo, a location and a gentle nearby alert, so the search starts right away.

A glowing golden puppy stands inside a beacon signal ring on a neighbourhood street at dusk while neighbours nearby receive alerts on their phones and a trail of light leads home.

How Beacon works

Three simple steps from lost to found.

Step 1

Report the pet

Share a photo, the last-seen spot on the map and a few details. It takes under a minute.

Step 2

Neighbours get alerted

People nearby who opted in are gently notified, so the whole street can keep an eye out.

Step 3

Reunite them

Sightings and matches point the way home. Mark the pet reunited and celebrate together.

Smart matching & nearby alerts

Beacon does the watching for you.

Found ↔ missing matching

Report a found pet and Beacon automatically surfaces likely matches from nearby missing reports, then notifies the owner.

Alerts for your saved areas

Choose the places you care about and how close counts as nearby. You'll only hear about pets in range.

Real maps & location search

Drop a precise last-seen pin, search any address, and see how far each pet is from you.

Community sightings

Anyone can add a sighting with a note and location, building a trail that leads the pet home.

Private and safe by design

  • Your contact stays private. Details are only revealed when you choose to share them on a report.
