What is the Start a Lost Pet Hub form?

The Start a Lost Pet Hub form is an intake form for owners with a missing dog or cat. It collects pet details, photos, last seen information, behavior notes, contact preferences, and case details so KC Pet Search & Rescue can help organize the recovery effort.

Does submitting this form create a public Lost Pet Hub?

Submitting the intake form begins the Lost Pet Hub process. KC Pet Search & Rescue may review the information before creating or publishing a public hub to protect privacy, safety, and accuracy.

What information should I have ready before starting the intake?

Owners should be ready to provide the pet name, species, breed, color, markings, recent photos, date and time missing, last seen area, behavior notes, confirmed sightings, contact preferences, and any helpful recovery details.

Can I upload photos of my missing pet?

Yes. The intake form can include photo uploads so the Lost Pet Hub can show clear images of the missing dog or cat, including identifying markings, collars, or recent photos.

Is this the same as requesting emergency search help?

No. Starting a Lost Pet Hub helps organize the case and collect information. Emergency search help, drone search, ground thermal scanning, trapping, or owner-assisted recovery may be recommended separately depending on the case details.

Will my private information be shown publicly?

KC Pet Search & Rescue does not publish full private addresses, sensitive contact details, internal notes, payment information, trap locations, or camera locations without approval. Public-facing details may be reviewed, edited, or summarized for privacy and safety.
