Repost any lost or found pet to Findpet.com Extension

This plugin is meant to assist in sharing lost and found pet reports from Facebook and Nextdoor, and Pawboost to Findpet. By doing this, it helps reunite pets with their loving families. Findpet uses advanced biometric identification tools which are powered by Computer Vision technology to automate lost pet searches. Findpet uses full-body pet identification that includes your pet's unique features like their face, front, sides, top, back, fur, and color patterns.

Social media is where most lost and found pets are reported, but they often lack the proper tools to process information in an organized way. Information is presented in an unstructured way in a constellation of pages, groups, and news feeds with no tools to automate search or filter results. Social media shows what they think you want to see or what they have been paid by advertisers, not necessarily the information that helps reunite pets. Currently, pets are reunited thanks to passionate pet lovers like you who match lost and found pets across dozens or even hundreds of pages and groups. This can be an inefficient and grueling task. Let's bring all the lost and found pet reports to one place and use advanced technology to reunite pets in a more efficient way. Join the Findpet volunteer community today and help us on our mission to protect every pet and return every lost pet back home!

To repost lost or found pet reports to Findpet, follow these simple instructions:
1. Download and install the plugin.
2. Register at Findpet.com.
3. Visit Facebook, Nextdoor, or Pawboost.
4. Right-click on an image of a lost or found pet you want to share to Findpet and choose “Share to Findpet” or just click on the button “Share to Findpet” in the bottom right corner of a lost or found pet photo.
5. A new tab will open with all the basic information about the pet that we were able to get from the post. (You need to be registered and logged in to be able to create a post at Findpet.)
6. Add missing information like report type (lost/found), gender, and approximate location (generally county, city, and state should be enough), etc.
7. Post.
8. Repeat with other pet reports.

1. Facebook:
