Together Once Again

My young German Shepherd Axel got out the gate Friday afternoon. His love for kids lured him over to the field to play a game of football. Thanks to PetLink, someone at the vets office was able recover him.

Together Again: Lesson Learned – Check E-mail

Lesson Learned – Check E-mail

Owning a dog, and with two little girls, we have a gated back yard. When the gate was open Daisy, a brown and white Welsh Corgi Cardigan, snuck out and we didn’t know she was missing for two hours. Our six-year-old was crying “We’ll never have her again!” and I calmed her down, saying “wait…

Subject: We Have Your Dog Ace

My Labrador Retriever, Ace, got out the back gate. Someone in town found him and took him to a shelter. Another family looking for a rescue dog got him and went to the vet but when he was scanned they realized he was my dog. PetLink is very fast at letting you know where your…

Together Again: Friends With Chainsaws

Friends With Chainsaws

Daisy is a three-year-old Lab Retriever. She strays a little bit but normally she runs back to home base right on time. We couldn’t figure out where she was and for four to six hours we searched the surrounding neighborhoods, a 22-square-mile area around our home. A while back, Daisy made friends with some construction…

Show Dog

Brodie is a show dog and was with his handler at the time he got loose. The handler lives about three hours away from me so, when Brodie escaped, he didn’t know the area where he was. He was almost hit on the freeway near the handler’s houses. A kind woman driver took a risk…

Chewie’s Colorado Adventure

I was out of town at a wedding when the call came that my German Spitz, Chewie, had gotten away and hadn’t been found yet. When I heard he was missing, all the possibilities of what happened were going through my head. He was staying at my mom’s in Colorado Springs where the yard is…

Together Again: Little Legs Can Go Far

Little Legs Can Go Far

We live in Georgia, so to stay safe and shaded outside, my Dachshund Buddy is sometimes tied to a dog run cable. A few months ago, I was doing some yard work and I didn’t put his leash on him. It was the second time he’d gotten away in two weeks. I turned around to…

Together Again: Chasing Squirrels In The Park

Chasing Squirrels In The Park

I named my dog, Bosco, after the chocolate syrup because he’s dark brown. He’s a runner. It has happened pretty often but usually we catch him before he gets too far. We live near a park so he probably saw a squirrel or a rabbit and went off to chase it. I looked for him…

Lucky Blue-Eyes

During the past five years we have fostered many dogs rescued from animal shelters. Though it’s difficult to give them up when we’ve nursed them after neglect or abuse, our reward is finding them new, permanent homes where they will be loved and respected. One dog we rescued, we named ‘Lucky’, since he was just…

Benefits of Microchipping Your Pet 

Microchipping your pet has several benefits. Microchips are permanent – after they are implanted, your dog or cat will never need to have it removed or replaced. Microchips do not use any power source or connectivity, so they will always be able to be scanned under any conditions. Microchips are inexpensive and easy to implant into your pet by a veterinarian. The procedure is also swift and generally painless. 

Unfortunately, it is very common for a lost pet to be found without a name tag on their collar. This often leads to pets being placed in shelters, hoping their owner will find them. Unlike tags and collars, microchips cannot fall out, break, get lost, etc. No matter what your pet does or where it goes, the microchip will stay safely implanted under its skin. When a pet has a microchip, it can be scanned by a veterinarian or animal shelter, regardless of the condition the pet is in. Microchips are the quickest and easiest way to identify lost animals and return them to their owners.

What Happens When Your Pet Has Been Found & Reported 

When a PetLink chip is scanned in a found pet, the owner gets notified immediately. To get in touch as quickly as possible, the registered owner will receive, texts, phone calls, and emails from PetLink right away. Once PetLink gets connected with the pet owner, arrangements can be made to return the pet safely back to its family.

Giving You Peace of Mind

We understand how important pets are to their owners– many consider their animals as members of their family. Naturally, pet owners worry about their pet’s safety and well-being. Microchipping your pet is one of the easiest and most essential steps you can take to keep your animal safe. 

PetLink significantly reduces the risk of permanently losing a pet, providing our members with peace of mind knowing we will assist in bringing their lost pets home. We encourage you to read our microchip success stories, which highlight how microchipping not only alleviates owners’ worries but also provides comfort to pets. A microchip registered at PetLink ensures lost pets are quickly reunited with their families, avoiding prolonged stress in shelters and offering great relief for both pets and their owners.
