PawTrace helps a found stray find its way home — upload a photo, get ranked matches against missing-pet reports, and generate a shareable flyer in seconds. Built for AnimalHack 2026.
Photo matching and flyer generation run entirely in your browser — no account, no upload to a server required.
File a missing-pet report with a photo, or search a photo of a stray you've found. PawTrace scores visual similarity against every report on file and reveals contact details for strong matches — plus a ready-to-print flyer.
Open Lost & Found →A short lifestyle quiz ranks shelter animals against your home, energy level and experience, with a plain-language "why this match" for each pick.
Take the quiz →Chat with a real LLM that asks follow-up questions about your home and lifestyle, then recommends real shelter animals — grounded in a breed dataset pulled live from public APIs.
Chat with the advisor →How Lost & Found works
An owner uploads a photo of their missing pet, or a finder uploads a photo of a stray.
PawTrace compares the photo against every report on file and ranks the closest visual matches.
Strong matches reveal contact details, and either side can generate a shareable flyer instantly.
