As a pet parent, there is nothing worse than realizing that your pet has left you and you have no idea where they are. Losing a dog or cat can be devastating because so many people consider their fur babies to be part of the family. Many of the posts you see when using the Neighborhood app are from people looking for pets or people finding lost pets. Unfortunately, lost pets end up in the wrong place or with the wrong people and may never be reunited with their families. Fortunately, here in Western New York, there is a group whose sole purpose is to connect lost and found pets.
