About Yip & Howl

A community project to help neighbors in Los Angeles share wildlife activity and missing animal reports.

What this site is

Yip & Howl lets residents log recent wildlife sightings, browse shared sightings, and post missing or found animal reports. It is intended as a simple neighborhood awareness tool, not as an official government or animal control service.

Not an emergency service

If you or an animal are in immediate danger, do not rely on this website. Call your local emergency number or animal control agency first.

Data and accuracy

All reports on Yip & Howl are submitted by community members. Posts are not independently verified, may be incomplete or out of date, and should be treated as informational only.

No professional advice

Nothing on this site is legal, medical, or professional wildlife management advice. Always follow guidance from local authorities and licensed professionals when deciding how to respond to wildlife.

Privacy and contact

Contact details shared in missing reports and messages are kept out of the public feed and are visible only to the site administrator in order to pass information along. Avoid posting highly sensitive personal information in any report. General questions or suggestions: use the Contact page.
