What you post can be seen and shared

• Anything public can be copied, screenshotted or shared by others.
• Don't post your home address, gate code, school, phone, email or daily routine.
• Public locations on PawQuest are approximate on purpose. Keep them that way.

Meeting people

• PawQuest does not background-check or verify ordinary users.
• Meet in a busy public place in daylight, bring another adult, and tell someone where you're going.
• Don't go into a stranger's home or invite them into yours. Leave if anything feels wrong.
• For handovers, consider a shelter, vet clinic or police station lobby.

Unfamiliar animals

• Unknown animals may bite, scratch or carry disease. Don't corner or chase them.
• Don't trespass or put yourself in danger to reach an animal.
• Contact animal control, a shelter or a vet for injured or dangerous animals.

AI and PetMatch

• Treat matches as leads, never as proof of identity or ownership. Verify with microchips, vets or shelters.

Emergencies

• Call 911 (or your local emergency number) if anyone is in danger. PawQuest isn't an emergency, police, vet or animal-control service.
