He was found thanks to microchip

Taz was found 20 miles from my home. The lady who found him had him scanned and saw my flyer. I am beyond grateful he has a microchip and he is home after 2 very long months! I took him to the vet and he is ok.

Use all of your Resources!

Turns out, Spark was found by a local family about 3 miles away last night at 8 PM.  The wife immediately logged him on NextDoor as a Found Pet.  Well, in addition to walking the woods for hours, we had knocked on neighborhood doors in neighborhoods adjacent to the property.  One kind woman had her…

Found

Hades, my stubborn Caucasian Shepherd Dog, got out of the fence and frightened the local neighborhood I’m assuming. But thanks to some good dog people, they took him to an emergency animal clinic, which scanned him and notified me immediately. Thank you to PetLink and loving and caring animal people!

Good Samaritan is my hero

I work at a 24 hour veterinary emergency hospital and 15 minutes before the end of my shift, my pet was identified through his microchip as the current Good Sam/HBC drop off. As terribly confusing as this event was I was ultimately reunited with my baby within 15 minutes of his arrival. He was literally…

Found!

Nessi escaped a backyard in October and went missing for nearly 2 months. She was finally found on the side of the highway by a nice kid that took her in to the vet and scanned her microchip. She was found on a water-locked island nearly 30 miles from where she was lost. I’m so…

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.
