How PawAlarm helps in Birmingham
This circle is who sees the alert: people who live, walk and drive around the last-seen spot in Birmingham — not your friends list. A neighbour two streets over, or someone passing through from the next town, is the person most likely to notice your dog.

Frequently asked questions
How does PawAlarm help if my dog goes missing in Birmingham?

It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your dog was last seen – within 1 mi of Birmingham, that's about 44,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes. Anyone who spots your dog reports the sighting on your search page, and you get it by email straight away.
What should I do first when my dog goes missing?
Note the last-seen place and time, prepare a clear photo, and contact local animal services, shelters and vets. Ask people to report sightings with a location and time, so you can follow up on useful information.
