SARAH PARICHAT STOUT
CEO & DIRECTOR
I believe that community and compassion are at the heart of everything we do. As the CEO and Director of Scan Found Animals, I feel deeply honored to lead and organization that brings people together in moments of both hope and heartbreak. My background as a Licensed Mental Health Clinician has taught me the power of connection, listening, and showing up for others - and I carry that same spirit into my work with animals and their families.
Animals have always been a source of comfort and love in my life. Through this work, I get to help give the same love back - by reuniting lost pets with their families and offering closure when needed most. Every scan, every reunion, every story reminds me why this mission matters.

ANNA MILLER
RETIRED- FOUNDER
After my 7.5-year-old Buddy was lost due to an irresponsible handyman leaving our gate unlatched on May 3, 2022, a series of events occurred empowering me to make "Scan Found Animals" a buzzword in every household.
Having been an ecommerce entrepreneur for 25+ years enabled me to get the ball rolling quickly online. My background, experience and education helped. I have a Master's Degree in Business Education with extensive experience in Training & Communications, and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology with specific studies and hands on projects in Comparative Animal Behavior.
At age 12, I landed in the hospital with pleurisy. The doctor told my parents it's either the dog or Anna, one has to go. We both stayed, and I entered a lifelong struggle with animal hair allergies. But it wasn't until my mid 40's when I first discovered a true psychic connection with a dog. Since that time, I've had four-legged best friends, companions, rescues, puppies, fosters and adoptees. It's been a journey of true admiration, gratefulness and unconditional love.
As for the people in my life, I must say some of the finest humans who walk this earth are animal lovers, rescuers and those who possess a heartfelt connection with not only their pets, but with all animals. I'm proud and grateful to have met and interacted with many animal-loving friends, new and old, in the Coachella Valley, throughout the USA and worldwide.
Welcome to Scan Found Animals, Inc. created during my last chapter on this planet. It's my silver lining to the horrific loss of my beloved best friend, Buddy, and it's truly the result of divine choreography.
