What the beta means

Reports are marked TEST or REAL. Testers say which when they file. TEST reports and sightings are practice; REAL ones are real pets.
REAL reports reach real people. A REAL lost pet goes to local shelters and to neighbors watching the area, just as it will after launch.
TEST reports are removed at launch. TEST reports, their sightings and photos are deleted. REAL reports stay, and so do your account and watch areas.
Spots are limited. Testers get in first come, first served until the beta is full — or you may already be on our invite list.
We’ll ask for feedback. Expect occasional in-app notes and emails asking what worked and what didn’t. Use the Feedback button any time.
Only partner shelters see TEST reports. Shelters testing with us get them, clearly marked TEST. TEST reports never go to other shelters, animal control or social media.

What we’re testing

NOW

Lost & found. Report a lost pet, file sightings, watch your neighborhood.

SOON

Adoption.Listings open once our partner shelters are vetted — real pets from real shelters.

After launch

PorchLight opens to everyone in Brevard County— no approval needed to watch your neighborhood or report a lost pet. Testers keep their sign-in, watch areas and REAL reports; TEST reports are cleared.
