There’s a new way to find your lost pet.
The BARC animal shelter wants people to use pet facial recognition on their smart phones to reunite lost pets and owners.
“All you have to do is download the app, just look up Finding Rover in your app store,” explains BARC’s Marketing Coordinator Ashtyn Rivet. “And take a picture of your pet, that’s the first step. You’ll identify the little eyes and nose and it’ll be in the Finding Rover system.”

So if a pet is lost, anyone who finds it, including animal control officers, can use the Finding Rover app to match photos and contact the owner.

The Harris County Animal Control Department has a similar program, but uses the PiP app.
