Bad experience, don't use them.

My dog disappeared. I posted on PawBoost. I got her back the next day, not because of PawBoost. I posted that I got her back. I did not know that they were pulling money from my account on a weekly basis. They pulled $134.97 out of my account without my permission. There is no customer service number to call them. I have deleted my account with them. I am retired on a fixed income. Now I'm out that money with no one to speak with about it.

So Grateful for PawBoost!

When my dog went missing, I was heartbroken and didn’t know where to start. PawBoost made it so easy to get the word out my post was shared right away and even sent to local shelters.

The support from the community was amazing, and thanks to all the shares, my pup was found safe within a couple hours! I’m so thankful for this site. If you ever lose a pet, definitely give PawBoost a try it really helps!

Pawboost really has this finding-your-pet down to a science! We found a dog, listed it on Pawboost, and within a few hours the owners were on their way. I couldn't believe how easy it was.

Trustworthy, consistent, and helpful.

PawBoost ended up being the place that the person who found my cat looked to find contact information for me. Thanks to PawBoost, I was also able to scope out a couple of scam attempts during the time that he was missing. Their reminders about people reaching out with ill intentions kept me alert and both times I was right to be skeptical.
I did find it slightly irritating that they continuously followed the "Is he still missing?" emails up with an advert, but hell, they are a company and they've gotta put food on the table just like anyone else. No stars taken for that.
Bottom line, they made the posting process simple, checked in every few days throughout the time he was missing, provided a comprehensive set of tools to review recovered animals in shelters AND in people's homes. It was also literally the only reason the person who finally found him, found me. So I am completely satisfied with the whole experience. I hope they gain some more repute with this review.

They won't give up!

Not only did they share his post to all the local shelters they kept checking back and reposting. Never giving up. Storm was missing for 30 days! Only because of the continued shares and posts was he found and able to be brought home!

Using pawboost made it easy and simple to put up an effective post for my missing pet. I got every notification witnin seconds of them being posted & pawboost stayed in contact with me several times a day with new suggestions and ways to help find my pet as well as put him at the top of the list when he wasn't found in 24hrs. Excellent tool!

A piece of mind experience

PawBoost is so wonderful. They make you feel better in such a troubling time. Having a pet missing is one of the saddest and scariest times a pet owner can experience. Having the support from pawBoost helped tremendously. I can't thank you enough.

Pawboost is an amazing resource for helping owners/caretakers with lost pets, and helping the general public with found animals. Everyone should have an account with this webpage to easily navigate and post when needed. I have been a follower of this site for many years now, helping others with their lost littlest family members. Highly recommend!

Genuinely made to help pets get home

I was grateful for the suggestions people made, and for the heads-up I received from someone in our neighborhood. Yes, the company wants to sell you something, but genuinely because it wants to help. We got a lot out of the free version, and I think if our cat had been gone longer, we would have paid to do an ad—this isn’t some money-grabbing scam, it’s a genuine service, and I get the feeling that the people who run it really want to help pets come home. This business is doing work we’d all do if our pets went missing, but they do it quickly and well. I didn’t have to schlep around to all the shelters to let them know, and PawBoost has a bigger network than I could hope for myself. I’m so grateful!

Pawboost reunited our sweet dog thanks to three wonderful, watchful neighbors who messaged us about specific sightings within a half mile of our house. We found her in the area she was last spotted ! Thanks a million to everyone who helped !!!

Pawboost is the best!!

I felt very discouraged about being reunited with my pet until I came across Pawboost. At first I was reluctant to post but after reading some of the other reviews, I said what the heck. I posted him and sure enough someone had seen him. We were reunited because of Pawboost!!
