Report a lost or found pet, let our AI scan photos for matches, and connect with your community — all in one app. Free to download and use.
Every minute counts. We built The Fur Finder because too many lost pets never make it home — not for lack of love, but for lack of the right tools. We're changing that.
Built for Australian pet owners, with tools designed to matter most in the critical first hours after a pet goes missing.
Upload a photo and our AI scans every found report — comparing coat colour, markings, face shape, and breed characteristics to surface the most likely matches.
Reports are automatically matched within your local area. A found pet 2km from a lost report gets flagged instantly, without you having to search manually.
See every lost and found pet near you on a live map. Locate nearby vets, shelters, and rescue organisations across all 8 Australian states and territories.
Paste text from Facebook, Nextdoor, or local community groups and our AI instantly cross-checks it against every active report in the app.
Register close-up photos of your pet's nose, eyes, and face. If spotted, anyone can do a quick photo scan to identify your pet — even without a microchip.
89+ verified listings across Australia. Call, get directions, or check their hours directly from the app — no separate searches needed.
Get a push notification the moment a lost or found pet is reported within your area. Be the first to know and the first to help.

Everything you need to know before downloading.
Last year, my own dog Lucky went missing for two days, and I was devastated. I felt completely broken, unable to eat, and overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. I visited every vet, shelter, pound, and local park. I walked the streets, knocked on doors, and scoured Facebook lost and found pages, as well as community pages across different suburbs. But everything was scattered, and there wasn't one centralised place to get all the information I needed.
Time was critical in locating Lucky. We live in an area with busy roads and reckless drivers, and I was terrified that he might be hurt. When I finally found him after two and a half days, he was traumatised, hungry, thirsty, and in pain. I was incredibly lucky to have found him, but not everyone is. There are elderly people and others who struggle to navigate multiple resources in the frantic moments after their pet goes missing.
Every minute counts when a pet is lost. Too often, these animals end up in far-away pounds, shelters, or even in the hands of people who have no intention of returning them. Many owners are unable to find their pets because their microchip information or contact details haven't been updated. Too many lost pets live in shelters, never reunited with their loving owners, and both the pets and their families suffer.
I see this situation every month when I come across lost animals, and I always try to help them reunite with their owners. Having gone through that heartbreak myself, I knew I had to do something to help in a more significant way. That's why I decided to create The Fur Finder — a platform that brings all the lost and found pet information into one place.
The running costs of the app are covered by paid subscriptions, ensuring that it remains accessible to everyone, especially those who need it most. It was my own painful experience that motivated me to build this app, and I hope it helps reunite as many pets with their families as possible.
Every pet deserves the best chance of getting home. Join thousands of Australians already using The Fur Finder to report, search, and reunite.
