How it works

One ad, several fronts

Post once and patuco handles the rest: shares on social networks, alerts people nearby and links you to anyone who found a similar animal.

1

Post the ad

Photos, description, distinctive marks, where and when it was last seen and, if you wish, a reward.

2

patuco shares and alerts

The ad is automatically posted on patuco's social networks and app users near the location receive a notification.

3

We match with found pets

Whoever finds an animal registers it in the app. We cross both sides and notify you when there's a likely match.

Found an animal?

Register it with a photo and the location. If an owner is searching, we notify both. If not, we help refer it to a shelter.

Suspect a theft?

If you suspect a theft, you can flag the ad as such. The formal complaint is filed with the authorities (PSP or GNR); patuco only marks the ad.
