FurBabyScout®
intro
Every day, dozens of pets go missing in El Paso. Frantic owners post on Facebook groups, Craigslist, and Nextdoor — but there's no centralized place to search. Lost pet posts get buried in hours.
FurBabyScout gives El Paso pet owners a dedicated platform to report, search, and find their lost companions.

Challenge
Lost pet postings were fragmented across social media platforms. By the time someone saw a 'found pet' post, the original 'lost pet' post was buried days ago. There was no way to match lost pets with found pets across platforms.
Solution
I built a location-aware pet finder with map-based search, photo matching, and instant notifications. Pet owners can post a listing in under 2 minutes with photos and last-known location.
The platform sends automatic alerts to nearby users when a new lost or found pet matches their search criteria. The clean, mobile-first design makes it easy for anyone to use — even stressed-out pet owners.
Results
FurBabyScout has helped reunite dozens of pets with their families since launch. The platform handles hundreds of active listings with real-time map search and photo browsing.
Users consistently praise the simple interface — 'I posted my lost dog in 2 minutes and got a match notification the same day.'
