mobiPET aims to be world's first Amber alert for pets

BLUFFTON, SC (WTOC) -

It may be the world's first photo Amber Alert for pets.

mobiPET is a system designed to help you quickly find your four-legged friend, and it was developed right here in the Lowcountry.

"When we started brainstorming this idea, I said 'Wow! Right now, if a pet goes missing and you're a pet owner, you go into this emotional panic,'" said mobiPET co-founder David Ropes.

He created mobiPET after noticing that there was nothing like it around.

These days, the retired marketing executive prefers his new title, Chief Pet Finder.

mobiPET is designed to help pet owners not waste precious time looking for their pets by doing all the work in advance.
