Sumter County Animal Services is joining forces with the national nonprofit Petco Love to help reunite lost pets with their families through Petco Love Lost.
According to industry statistics, one in every three pets will go missing in their lifetime. Petco Love Lost is a free searchable national database that uses photo-matching technology to make finding lost pets quicker and easier, as well as reuniting found pets in communities across the country.
This simple-to-use tool is easily accessible to participating animal organizations nationwide, as well as any 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.
“At Sumter County Animal Services, we are dedicated to the pets in our care, ensuring they find their way back home to their families,” said Gary Herrero, Sumter County Animal Services Manager. “There’s no greater reward than reuniting families with their beloved pets, and with Petco Love Lost, we’re confident it will lead to many more heartwarming reunions right here in Sumter County.”
