So as Instagram has been exploding in popularity now that it's also available for android phones, we're thinking of utilizing it's hashtag features to spread fliers and pics snapped with mobile phones to a wider audience. We're thinking of using these particular tags, #lostdogla #lostcatla etc... as they are quick to type and pretty descriptive. We've searched instagram and while there are a few similar tags in use, we'd like your opinions as to what you all might think would help get these missing guys home quicker. 

Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

tags we use/recommend/suggest - (the '-la' is especially important if you're not sharing location data or geo tags)

lost/found cats: #lostcatla
lost/found dogs: #lostdogla
lost/found birds: #lostbirdla
lost/found other pets: #lostpetsla

the simplicity of the above tags is intentional (ie. a 'found' or 'seen' dog is very likely 'lost' by some one else)

In addition to applying to become a registered non-profit, we'll also be moving our site to a new domain, soon to be located at http://lostpetsla.org Besides moving our site, we're upgrading the framework that makes everything work and there will be some very welcome changes that allow for a much nicer and significantly easier experience for the users of the site as well.

It's about 90% done right now, just some more tweaking and tracking down the last little bug-fixes. We still have to determine the best way to migrate the existing content, but it's also an opportunity to trim some older stuff as well.
