When Lucy, an Australian shepherd-husky mix, went missing from her Mount Pleasant neighborhood in Washington. D.C., a month ago, her owners reached for every resource in the modern pet owner’s playbook.

Dan Wood and Sarah Darnell printed fliers, posted messages on Craigslist, launched a Web site with an interactive map plotting where Lucy had been seen, and started a blog to share details of the search.

And just when they thought they couldn’t possibly do more, a friend told them about Findtoto.com.

Within hours, 10,000 households in Washington and suburban Montgomery County, Md., knew that Lucy had disappeared. They knew she had one brown ear and one speckled ear and likes to have her belly rubbed. And they knew whom to call if they spotted Lucy.

Findtoto.com is one of several services that harness technology to help people find their pets. The Arizona-based Pets911.com allows people to post for free information about missing or found animals. It has links to 9,000 animal shelters. Findfido.com is a smaller, more personal venture started by Linda Fields of Milford, Pa., in 1998 to help owners.
