Dogs
When someone finds your dog, they can reach you in seconds
A free QR tag for the collar or harness. Whoever finds your dog scans it and messages you right away — and your phone number stays off the tag.

How it works
- Create a tag. Sign in with your email — no password — and you get a unique code with a printable label, free.
- Clip it on. Print a label for a tag capsule, or have the short address — ifyoufind.me/YOURCODE — engraved on any blank tag. Put one on the collar and a spare on the harness.
- Bring them home. The person who catches your dog scans the tag or types the code and sends you a message. You're notified by email, you reply privately, and you arrange the pickup.
Your details stay private
Messages travel through ifyoufind.me, not directly between you and the finder, so your email address and phone number are never shared — and you never see theirs unless they choose to share a way to reach them. An engraved phone number is read by everyone your dog ever greets; a code starts a conversation only when it matters.

Good to know
- Keep the microchip. The chip is the deep backup — but it needs a scanner at a vet or shelter. The neighbour who catches your dog can use the tag from the sidewalk, with any phone.
- Collar, harness, or both. Print as many labels as you need — collar, harness, crate — all pointing at the same code.
- Nothing to install mid-rescue. Any phone browser works — no app to download while they're holding a wriggling dog.
Common questions
Does this replace my dog's ID tag or microchip? No — keep the microchip and any tag your local rules require. This adds an instant, private message channel for whoever actually finds your dog.
What does the finder see? The note you wrote — "This is Biscuit, he's friendly, please get in touch" — and a box to message you. Your account's email and phone number are never shown; the finder learns only what you choose to put in the note.
What if the tag gets chewed, wet or lost? Print another. Codes never expire, and you can reprint labels whenever you like.
What does it cost? Personal use is free: you get an allowance of codes that grows over time, and you're never charged for going over it.
