What should I be doing with this information?

The data and analytics provided in your Petco Love Lost reporting dashboard are there to support your organization, but how you use them is entirely up to you! Here are a few ways you might find them valuable:

• Track Impact – Use the data to demonstrate how your organization is helping reunite lost pets with their families. These stats can be useful for grant applications, board reports, and community outreach.
• Identify Trends – See patterns in lost and found pet reports to better understand where pets are going missing and adjust your outreach efforts accordingly.
• Engage with Pet Owners – The lost and found pet reports can help your team proactively match pets in your care with lost pet reports from the community.
• Improve Your Processes – If you notice a gap between lost pet reports and reunions, consider adjusting how you communicate Petco Love Lost to your community to increase awareness and usage.
• Community Collaboration – Share insights with local groups, rescues, and volunteers to encourage more reunions outside of the shelter system.

There’s no required action—just opportunities to make the most of the information available! If you have questions or need ideas on how to leverage your data, feel free to reach out to lost@petcolove.org.
