Pet Protect is the membership for dog families across Manalapan, Marlboro, Freehold, Colts Neck, Holmdel, Howell, Jackson, Monroe, East Brunswick, and Old Bridge. Mesh Alert reaches every opted-in member within two miles. The Safe House Network gives whoever finds your dog a verified vet or groomer to drop them at. The tap-trail tells you who saw your dog last. This is not a GPS tracker. The walnut-and-brass tag is passive and activates only when someone taps it. What works is the network density.

Most lost-dog services stop at ‘post a flyer’. Pet Protect runs four steps in parallel from the first minute. Post once, not five times. One CityVero link goes to the town group, to Nextdoor, to the lost-dog page, and every reply comes back to one screen instead of scattered across threads you keep refreshing at midnight.
You tap ‘missing’ once. Inside thirty seconds, every CityVero member within two miles who opted in gets a photo, the area your dog was last seen, and a one-tap ‘I see him’ button. The denser the network, the faster the find. Founder cohort members anchor the density in their town.
The first person who finds your dog taps the walnut-and-brass tag on the collar. You see the scan moment in your app. Time, neighborhood-level area, what the finder needs to know. Your home address never appears anywhere. The finder sees enough to text you. Not enough to find you when you don’t want them to.
If you cannot get there fast, the finder reads the list of nearby Safe Houses on the scan page. Verified vets and groomers across the 10 towns who keep a slot open for found dogs. The finder drops your dog. You get a confirmation. You drive over when you can.
Information provided by Safe House partners. Always call ahead to confirm hours before driving over.
When your dog is home, the reunion can become a story in the Sunday digest. With your permission. Your finder gets credit by name. Your Safe House partner gets credit by name. Other dog families read it. Density grows.
Vets and groomers across the 10 towns keep a Safe House slot open for dogs found after hours. Every Safe House partner is verified by CityVero, listed by name on this page, and posts their hours.

At 4:09 on a Tuesday the side latch on Tennent Road did not catch. By the time Biscuit's family had checked the yard twice, a neighbor three doors down was already walking him home. She got the mesh alert at 4:11, knew his face from the photo, and crossed the street before anyone thought to panic. She was a CityVero member too. That is how a recovery works in a town that pays attention. The story runs in Sunday's note, names kept private if the family prefers, and a few more neighbors quietly decide their own dog belongs on the mesh.

After Founder cohort closes
Every membership ships with the same privacy floor.
Tag tokens are random, not sequential.
Phone numbers never appear in the public profile source code.
Last-seen location is scrambled to neighborhood-level so a finder can help without finding your home.
Finder claims are SMS-verified before they reach you.
Every alert carries a scam-script warning.
Members enrolled in the New Jersey Address Confidentiality Program can switch on a stricter mode that suppresses location data entirely.
For an older dog who slows down and starts to wander, the tag is not a medical device and does not track his health. It does something smaller and steadier. If he drifts too far, the block already knows his face. CityVero stores what helps a neighbor act. It never makes a call that belongs to a vet.
Three things deliberately stay out of scope. When the stakes are high, decisions belong with the people qualified to make them, not with a directory.
The walnut-and-brass tag is passive. No battery, no GPS chip, no live location feed. It activates only when a person taps it. Recovery depends on a neighbor seeing your dog, or a finder picking them up and tapping the tag. We mobilize the network. We cannot promise the outcome.
Use your veterinarian. Vets across the 10 towns are listed by name and phone in the CityVero directory. Call them. The directory is not a substitute.
Vendors describe their own services in their listings. There is no ‘pet-safe lawn’ badge, no ‘puppy socialization safe’ badge, no ‘raw food approved’ badge. Those calls are not the directory’s to make.
ER availability changes minute to minute. The clinic’s phone is the source of truth. Call before driving.
Pet Protect is operated by CityVero LLC. Information on this page describes the service. Specific NFC tag performance, vet availability, and groomer hours are provided by the listed partners. Always confirm with the partner directly before relying on hours or availability.
