About FurAlert ( aka Fur Alert )
FurAlert ( or Fur Alert ) is a pet finder app for missing or lost pets. With the app on your phone, you will receive a "fur alert" when a dog or cat is reported missing nearby. If your pet is lost, use FurAlert to send a "fur alert" and mobilize your best resource – other people that happen to be nearby!
Time and distance are the enemy and source of anxiety when a pet is lost. You worry they'll get hurt or worse. Our goal is to reduce the amount of time the animal is lost thereby reducing the likelihood that they are injured while not in their owner's loving care.
At a time when you are desperate for help, FurAlert is like having a search committee on demand. It's a must have for every dog and cat lover.
How it works:
1. Download the app. (Tip: Do it now. Don't wait until your pet gets lost)
2. Create a profile for each dog and cat.
3. When your pet wanders off, open the app, select the animal that's missing, and report it lost.
4. FurAlert will send a message to other FurAlert users in the vicinity. They receive the picture and info you provided about the pet.
5. If a FurAlert user sees your pet, they can easily call, text, or email you with valuable info to help you locate and retrieve your dog or cat.
LOCATION REPORTING: FurAlert uses a sophisticated, but efficient method for reporting location changes in the background. This is primarily done when significant location changes are made -- e.g. moving between two cell towers when the GPS is briefly activated. As a result it does not typically cause the battery to be drained unless you are, for example, driving all day in the car.

What a great idea! Hopefully I will never need it for my dog, but I feel a little safer knowing I have this app. The app does need a little work, though. Can only close it with the task manager and I had to crop a picture of my dog to prevent it from loading sideways. Now the task is to get the word out to all pet lovers in my community! Keep up the good work!

When listing pet lost, the number you put in for the pets weight comes up as the age of the pet when listed, even if you put in an age, it's replaced with the weight of the pet. I just saw a small dog posted without weight and age was 25. My cat, same thing. I put age (4) and weight (7lbs) and when listed, weight is blank and age is 7. UPDATE: To respond to developer's reply: app still says the same thing, mix up with weight and age. App is up to date, no updates in queue, so still an issue!

Won't let you report finding a wandering dog not in your own profile. Makes no sense.

App hangs in continual loop when trying to put animals on there. It was hard enough trying to enter the info but then it wouldn't save. Save just spun for 5 minutes. Before that I had to reinstall app cause it kept crashing. When is app going to have spot where you can change location, if not at site where animal got lost and trying to place lost info after the fact?
