The Hays County Pet Resource Center is now a part of Neighbors by Ring, a public safety mobile app to share hyperlocal updates with Ring camera users in Hays County. Ring aims to connect residents with public safety agencies through the Neighbors App to create safer, more informed communities.
Utilizing this additional tool allows us to share focused
information such as educational materials, event announcements, and
local resources with the community to reach a wider audience of pet
owners in Hays County. Lost and found pet information is an important
feature of the app where neighbors can help neighbors reunite pets with
their owners, and get safely back home, all without entering the shelter
system.
The Neighbors app integrates with Petco Love Lost, Petco Love’s free national database.
Ring’s Pet Profiles
is another step to simplify the pet reunification process. The
integration allows customers to share images of their pet via a
Neighbors Pet Profile or lost pet post with Petco Love Lost.
From there, the database’s pet image technology will check all
affiliated shelters and private found-pet reports to see if there are
any pets matching the images provided through Neighbors, helping pets
make it safely home where they belong.
With most lost pets being less than 1 mile from home, swift action and community effort are critical in reuniting pets with their loved ones. This is possible by leveraging modern technology, and sharing lost pets to the Neighbors by Ring app to make communities safer.
