Trust & safety

Specific checks. Honest limits.

Animal Radar helps people coordinate around an animal without turning a public case into a directory of private addresses, identities, or unreviewed claims.

Locations are deliberately approximate

Exact report, holding, and handoff locations stay restricted. Public maps show an obscured point or radius that is useful for searching without exposing a home.

Sensitive media starts hidden

Photos are re-encoded without location metadata. Videos are privately processed, and potentially graphic media requires an intentional reveal.

Verification says what was checked

Rescue and clinic badges describe completed identity or record checks and their date. A badge is not an endorsement of care quality, safety, or financial health.

People can report and block

Case, comment, profile, media, organization, and campaign concerns enter a human moderation queue. Audited actions and appeal paths keep decisions accountable.

Immediate danger?

Animal Radar is not emergency dispatch, animal control, law enforcement, veterinary care, or a wildlife rehabilitator. Contact the appropriate local service first.

Proposed veterinary pledges

No verified need, no charge.

Animal Radar is reviewing a conditional-pledge model with advisors. The preview accepts no money and stores no payment method.

Pledged is not funded

A pledge would remain cancelable and uncharged until an independently reviewed clinic estimate, goal, and deadline exist.

Verified clinic only

The proposed care payment goes to the named verified clinic. No organizer, volunteer, or other individual is a destination.
