A gentleman named Caleb found Dot wandering around and picked her up to make sure she was safe. He took her to a vet, who read her microchip, which resulted in my getting Caleb’s address and phone number. It turned out that Caleb lived less than 2 miles from us, so we just drove over […]
This guy showed up at my house early New Year’s morning. He’s an 8 month old, intact, male yellow lab. I scanned him and his chip came up as a 981 PetLink chip, but he wasn’t registered. I kept him all day and night. I was planning to take him to the local vet (we […]
One of my kids accidentally left the sliding door open on our back porch in our former apartment. At the time my mom was walking our Boston Terrier. An unleashed APBT came charging at my elderly mother and my dog. Binx saw this from inside my apartment and ran out of the apartment onto the […]
Our cat Alex was an outdoor cat and came home every morning after a night of hunting. On the 16th of August, he just didn’t come home. He never wandered very far, but we had moved to a new house two weeks before so maybe he wandered farther than usual. We aren’t sure what happened. […]

More pets are lost over the Fourth of July holiday than any other time of the year. And with many towns holding fireworks displays throughout the summer, […]
Our cat, Loco, shot out the door or our house and into the night when someone walked in. 9 days later a family about three miles north of our home saw him in their bushes. His collar was gone so they started feeding/watering him. They took him to a vet to check for a microchip. […]
We were getting our fence repaired and out dog, Ducky, broke her leash and ran off down the street. She was then hit by a car, and a good samaritan took her to the vet. The vet then scanned her for a chip and contacted me telling me she was hit by a car and […]
