Lost Dog - Put Out An Amber Alert

Doggie social networking websites are nothing new. There are a few of them. They’re basically a MySpace for dogs & their owners. But a new site not only offers a meeting place, but it also offers the first ever Amber Alert for dogs.

If your dog comes up missing, there’s a free service at Dognamic.com to find your pup & hopefully reunite the two of you fairly quickly.

The site features a virtual flier for missing dogs. Users can create a personal profile page for their dogs, then drop it into the Missing Mode. Members within a designated distance from the missing animal’s ZIP code will be notified by the Web site’s ticker system, which is similar to the news scroll we see at the bottom of the television screen.

Their sister site at DogAmberAlert.com is scrolling Amber Alerts all the time for 6 different US cities. It looks like if you live within 50 miles of any of these cities, you can put out your own doggie Amber Alert. It’s a new site, so I’m sure that once more dog owners find out about it, more cities will be included.

I think it’s a great idea. Check it out & spread the word!
