The established protocol for reuniting lost pets with their owners is evolving, with a greater emphasis on direct owner-finder connections. Instead of immediately taking a found pet to a shelter, individuals are encouraged to first check for ID tags, search local online platforms like Facebook or Nextdoor, and utilize microchip lookup tools. Services such as Petco Love Lost leverage AI for photo matching to aid in these reunions. This shift aims to reduce stress on animals, save shelter resources, and alleviate capacity issues faced by many animal welfare organizations. AI
