Why Pawsofmind exists

What if he’d gone another way?

Maya is our Belgian Malinois — but to us, she’s not a dog. She’s our daughter.

A year ago, a delivery person left the gate open, and she slipped out. For nearly five hours we searched the streets on foot, calling family, her trainer, the vet — anyone who might help.

Everyone wanted to. No one had a system.

Then a stranger mentioned he’d seen her a few streets away. We found Maya cornered by street dogs, terrified — but safe.

One thought hasn’t left us since: what if he’d gone another way?

We built Pawsofmind so bringing a pet home never comes down to luck.

See how the recovery network works

Be ready before it happens

More than one way home.

Register your pet once and get a QR-linked profile. Whoever finds them scans the tag and reaches you in a single tap — and if no one does, your nearby community and recovery partners are there to help bring them home.

  • A shareable profile the moment you register
  • Your number stays private — shared only if you choose
  • Works with any tag or collar QR

The recovery journey

How the recovery network works

From the first report to the moment they’re home — one connected case, one shared source of truth, carried the whole way.

  1. Step 1

    Report or register

    Report a missing pet in under a minute, report a found or spotted pet, or register ahead so details are ready.

  2. Step 2

    One live case is created

    A single shared page with photo, last-seen location, and updates — everyone sees the same current information.

  3. Step 3

    The case is shared with people nearby

    Local sharing currently depends on available community contacts. As the Bengaluru network grows, vets, shelters and NGOs will act on the same case.

  4. Step 4

    Sightings come in

    Finders share where they’ve seen the pet; updates stay connected to the one case.

    Don’t chase a frightened animal — share a photo, location and direction from a safe distance.

  5. Step 5

    Reunited

    The family confirms the match and brings them home.
