I have used FindToto 3 times. Neighbors have reported being called and we received a tip from a neighbor who got a call, about a sighting, which led us to locate the lost dog. Sorry others see them as a scam, They have certainly helped us.

They are legitimate
November 19, 2013

They are legitimate. I actually ran into people at the area grocery store when I was taking down my "lost cat" flyers and they said "Oh, that's the cat they called me about" So I know for sure that they call area homes, I just know that these days a lot of people don't have a home phone anymore, just cell phones.
I guess those people don't get the calls. My blind cat that never left the property before and was gone for 4 days was in my driveway when I got home on the 4th evening. I don't know if it was my flyers or findtoto.com but I'm glad she got back to me. I'm on here now because I just used findtoto again and when I googled it for the number I saw these reviews Wanted to set the record straight.

This website is not a scam, I used them after being scammed by several other companies that would not provide any information that they did anything. I signed up with FindToto and actually was able to talk to a live person. They sent the alerts out to my neighbors via phone, not 250 miles away to pet stores and vets. Beware of similar services that say they do it be sure and follow up. FindToto.com was the first and original service and all others are complete knock offs. Good Luck and be sure and post posters as well.

FOUND!
April 2, 2016

I just lost my 7 month old Vizsla last Weds night in a very rural area on the Eastern Shore of MD. This area is almost 4 hours from our home. I used this service and was amazed to find out how many people knew he was missing and who to contact. When he was found 2 farms away I took him in town to have over 50 ticks removed. As I got him out of the vehicle I had several complete strangers stop me and say "Thank God you found him, we were all looking and worried." Wow! I was amazed at how many people knew and cared.

They claim to call "residential numbers" within a mile of where your animal was lost. I got a call at my Business for a lost pet that was nowhere near my location. This is a disruption of my business, and don't need these calls. IMO, they make the calls in order to sell more listings, or otherwise they would not reference their website in the call.

This is not a scam
March 2, 2017

Will it work for me? I do not know. I sure hope so but one thing I do know is it is not a scam like some people are saying as I received a call from a lady who thinks that she saw my dog. I do not know her. I am hoping to get more calls from this. If my son's dog is found it will be worth every penny.

I am on the do not call registry but have gotten calls from this site. And they were for a street that is no where in my neighborhood. I think it is a scam.

A cat was lost one street over from where I live. This robocall service was supposed to call nearby esidential landlines to alert area residents. I never got a call on my landline. My friend paid a lot for this, and if they didn't call my number (which plenty of telemarketers know), I doubt anyone was called. Cat was found by knocking on neighbors' doors, none of whom had received calls.

This is the real version of so many of those missing pet websites... most are scammy, but this one is much more legit and will do as they say on the site. It may not really be enough to find a lost pet but better than nothing!

Here is some truth about FindToto.com. The company was started in 2007 and put a patent out on the technology to alert your neighbors. Well lets just say the government is not all that fair and now 3+ years later it is still sitting for review. You can see the patent info here http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/*******926. Now because of this great idea and great way to find missing pets fast other companies have started their websites providing the same service and some not even providing any service. The other companies go online and write negative reviews about FindToto and positive reviews about themselves. FindToto doesn't write any reviews, none for themselves and none against any competitors, bad business. The internet is a big world and there is not to much you can do about it but try and spread the truth, not bash competitors, but just state the facts. FindToto was started to help find lost pets. The owner lost his cat and never found her, now he has been able to help so many people out bringing over 4000+ lost pets home. I'm not the owner of this site, but do know who he is and it is sad that this great idea has been taken advantage and others have stole money from poor lost pet owners.

I tried this service when I lost my dog, sounded good... I later learned it was a complete scam and they didn't even call my neighbors. I talked to many neighbors in my area and NONE of them received a call from findtoto.com... a total scam. The company just gave me excuses and wouldn't refund my $125. Please beware of this website as there are much better ways to find your lost pet.

Not scam, thoroughly legit. They are exempt from DNC registry. We had previously received missing pet alert calls from findtoto.org which is how I knew to find them. If the pet makes it home without their help, you do not get a refund, because they have already provided the service. They explain it all over on their site, but I mention it here for those who are careless readers.

Our elderly, mostly blind and deaf dog went missing from our home in a semirural, partly wooded area. After searching everywhere close to home for two hours, I registered an alert with findtoto.com. As soon as call alerts went out, I received a sighting call from a neighborhood over a mile away by road. Dog would not go to her, but she told me the direction she was traveling. After searching the area on foot and by car for an hour, and fielding another sighting call from another neighbor, I returned home to find our dog in the yard, muddy and so exhausted she could barely climb the steps.

Although she made it back on her own, given her handicaps and the frigid weather, it could easily have gone another way. Findtoto.com performed exactly as promised. I received alerts on both my landline and cell, and clearly neighbors also received them. I hope not to need Findtoto again, but if we do, I am so thankful for the service they provide.

I researched a bit, and was frustrated as all the available companies seemed to have folks who gave horrible reviews. But, we sure wanted Snoop back. So I looked and looked and came across a seemingly reputable blog describing a call, and a Wash. Post article, and tried Findtoto.com. Price seemed a bit steep, but hey, I don't know all the addresses or phone numbers nearby, and didn't have the time anyway. Doggie ran off the morning of the 11th, and we bought the package on the morning of the 14th, (posters and searching ineffective thus far). We were visiting relatives during this fiasco (father in law let the dog out w/no tether), so we were on a time crunch for sure. Four hours after the alert, the neighbor called me on my cell (she got the # from the alert which left a message on her machine) and said "guess who's on the porch?" So we don't know if it was timing, or someone got the message and released the dog (she was quite clean), but we know the neighbor got the alert, and we know we got our dog. BTW, this happened in upstate NY, where it was COLD! So, doggy safe, bank account smarting, but ride home in peace? Priceless. Findtoto did as advertised, at least in our case. I would have rated it higher, but we can't confirm it was the alert that got our doggie back to us. But the timing was awesome, and the calls were made, and like I said. Mama is happy, and I am more than pleased. Anyone who can call around all these homes for you, if it helps find anyone's pet, well that's what I call an effective service industry niche. Good luck finding your pet if its strayed, but in my experience, you can indeed trust Findtoto to make the calls you paid for. Btw, no idea about the posters etc sent to the vets or whatever. Maybe they're available in a different package, but I didn't see em on the site. I wanted phone calls, and got them, and our dippy dog back too.

Purchased a Lost pet service that offered calling cell phones and homes with an amber alert type recording. There are many services that offer your pet to be listed on their website along with notifying local businesses, vets and shelters and a printable poster all for free. The website page shows the demo'ed recording that is being offered to be replicated for you pets info. We received a generic message that is some what like this. " there is a lost pet in your area, you can go this the website, etc..." no info on the recording of what kind of, (dog, cat, turtle,?) no details, description like the recording, or nothing. This was a total waste of time and my money. We contacted many people in the area, businesses as well, we couldn't find anyone that recieved this alert but us because we purchased the service. I spent a week making endless attempts to contact this company through, phone calls, messages, emails, chats, probably more than 50 in all, with never one response. They say they will call you back but don't. We have lost priceless time trying to work with this pitiful company. Time is of the essence. We want nothing short of a full refund of our $325.
They play hard core and don't want to give a refund or admit they didn't deliver the service they sold. Shame on this company.
I wanted to attach my reciept but it only takes 300 x 300 and i couldn't get it edited to that exact size.
The demo is under how it works, then click on what does the call sound like, then click on listen to
Good luck getting what you paid for, any help or any refund
Run from this site. They owe people alot of apologies, their poor service if there is any, wastes the precious time to find your pet. Also, Pet Amber Alert. Com is exactly the same worthless. No communication and can't get a refund. We were desperate and they know it.
