WHY USE PINWILD?
Real-Time Wildlife Map & Sighting Tracker
Get instant community updates. See exactly where bears, cougars, mountain lions, coyotes, wolves, bobcats, moose, elk, and other wild animals have been spotted. Our crowdsourced map ensures you have the latest data. To keep information fresh, green pins (non-threat wildlife) expire after 7 days, while red and blue pins (threats and lost/found pets) stay for 14 days.
Crowdsourced Community Notes
Don't just watch—participate. Tap any pin and scroll to the bottom to see the Community Notes section. Ask questions about lost pets, provide live updates on an animal's movements, or confirm a neighbor's sighting. Use the heart icon to "Like" pins and show support for your community.
Lost and Found Pet Tracker
Don't wait for slow social media groups. Post a lost dog or missing cat alert immediately with a photo and GPS location. Neighbors within your alert radius, who use Pinwild, receive a push notification to help reunite pets with their families fast. You can even provide optional contact info to receive direct updates from neighbors.
Custom GPS Proximity Alerts
Set your Home Base, a custom notification radius (from 1 to 50 miles) and select the type of notifications you want to receive. You only get safety alerts for the area that matters to you.
Safety & Threat Levels
Not all wildlife is a danger. Use our map filters to view only predator threats (like lions or bears), non-threats (like deer or birds), or specific lost and found pet reports.
