Home at Last! The found Japanese Chin/Papillon from #CarolStream #HanoverPark, IL is home safe and sound! Her name is Yumi and she is 17 years old! Found 2024-03-12 Reunited 2024-03-12. Welcome home, Yumi!
Thank you Chris from the Carol Stream PD for posting this 17 year old girl to Lost Dogs Illinois, in hopes of getting her home prior to going to animal control! "A Lost Dogs Illinois, Microchip Hunter volunteer was able to investigate many twists and turns to find current owner info from a 17 year old (never updated) microchip! So much time was spent researching many different contacts & several dead end numbers for a dog that had been rehomed 6 years ago without updating microchip info. Please, please, please make sure that you update contact information with your pet's microchip company. If your pet gets lost with old or non-existent contact info, you may never get your pet back." Yumi's family of 11 years was also happy to see she is doing well! The current family was out looking when they received this call! Thank you to the finder who turned her in too! She is one lucky dog, loved by many! #LostDogsIllinois #PetFBI ID# 623923 #Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com What are the odds?
Two dogs were picked up together today in #BlueIsland IL and taken to the police station. They were scanned for microchips but only one had a chip. Cindy S. messaged Microchip Hunters for help. I (Microchip Hunters) pulled up the owner information and tried the number, but it was disconnected, and I was unable to find any other current number for this owner. I did find a couple other family members at the address, searched for phone numbers, and the first message I sent was a reply of "OMG that's my dog!" His name is Coco. He was missing about a week now. I asked if she had a second dog and she said, no, just one. He is a Pomeranian. I sent Coco's family a photo of the second dog and was told that she didn't recognize him. She texted her grandmother the photo of this second found dog, as it was hard to tell what he looked like. His hair is long and was very messy from all the rain. Her grandmother said that it is her dog Peluche, who was missing for a couple of weeks now! Both families live just around the corner from each other and somehow, they found each other, though they didn't go missing together! This is such a great ending for Coco, Peluche and their families! As Coco's owner said, "Dogs are really amazing they found each other. Thank you so much again. My grandma is very happy now, she thought she would never see her dog again." What are the odds??? These dogs went missing a week apart, found each other, ended up at the police station, and both got home because the granddaughter's dog was microchipped!!! Found and reunited 3/8/2024 So happy everything fell into place! Welcome home Coco and Peluche!! Thanks Coco for finding Peluche, and to all that helped them get home! We love Police Departments that scan for chips and work with the community to get animals home! We will share back home photos when we receive them. The microchip will also be updated! Lost Dogs Illinois #MicrochipHunters www.microchiphelp.com Lucky has been reunited!
Thank you to Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation for requesting help from Microchip Hunters! Microchip Hunters found a name attached to the phone number on the dog's tag. Thankfully Lucky had his last name on the tag to help narrow down the list of possible owners to the number. His family was looking for him all day Sunday! "He is from Kentucky and is unfamiliar with the neighborhood. He went missing this past Saturday and was saved by our Court Advocates, Marjorie and Joyce. He had a collar with a name tag, but the phone number was unfortunately invalid. After contacting Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters for help, we were able to reunite this pup today. His mom left on Sunday for Kentucky, so grandma picked him up. Lucky lived up to his name. Happy reunion! " Phish Stixx is home after missing a year! This cat was found in #Jacksonville Florida, and the microchip led to an outdated phone number. Thank you to the finder, who took him in, got him scanned for a microchip, and submitted to Microchip Hunters for help! Microchip Hunter Volunteer, Weslee reached the family via a current number found! "She wants a picture of the cat to make sure. She says she lost the cat a while ago and have given up hope they would find it." A picture was sent, and a little girl was jumping up and down when she saw it! "She said it is him!" Arrangements to pick up were made between the finder and owner, and a happy reunion was made! Thank you for doing the right thing and getting Phish Stixx home after a year! His family was missing him!!! Lost Dogs Illinois #MicrochipHunters www.microchiphelp.com Not all animals found abandoned need a new home!
This 2-year-old cat was found (left) outside of Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC), but did have a family that came to get her as soon as they heard! Thank you CACC for sending this to microchip hunters when the phone number from the microchip was disconnected. Microchip Hunter Dianne reached the ex mother-in-law who helped get in touch with the family. When the family learned where she was, they made arrangements for a ride and picked her up the next day. They had her since she was a kitten and love this little 2-year-old cat. Welcome home! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com Missing over 6 weeks, mystery solved!
Thank you, The City of Mobile Animal Services, for caring enough to send this dead-end microchip to Microchip Hunters! Draco's had a microchip that begins with 900 and was never registered. Many chip companies show up as possible manufacturers, but none turned out to be correct. Microchip Hunters did some digging, and contacted another microchip company not listed, for some help! This dog was purchased at a flea market in Alabama. I was able to get information for the breeder with the help of someone that purchased their dog there, and the breeder searched for owner information! When I contacted Draco's family, he was so happy. He had given up finding him after 6 weeks and even sold his crate. When I looked up the hours for animal services, it showed 12-4 Monday through Friday, so the family told me they would be able to get there Wednesday when they were off work. I provided the phone number and arrangements were made - Draco went home today, Sunday!!! I woke up to a happy reunion! Thank you again to all involved in getting him home, and a special thanks to the The City of Mobile Animal Services for working to get Draco home quickly; he is loved! Draco's microchip is now registered! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com From Microchip Hunter Dianne: "I was able to contact Tina and her daughter! They were both very excited to hear something about the pup. They live in Gary, Indiana. The father and son on the microchip had both passed away, and someone had told these ladies that the pup had run away. They were thrilled to find out that the dog is safe. Tina was very worried since she didn't know where the pup was. The dog is a link to their family who have passed on, and it they really want him back!"
Thank you to Chicago Animal Care and Control for sending this to Microchip Hunters for help! We love this story, and were very happy to be able to reunite this family! Found 12/24/2023 Reunited 1/4/2024 Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com There is a twist! 'Glitter' is 'Envy'
Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) sent this microchip to Microchip Hunters when they didn't hear back from the owner on file for this dog. Her name was listed as Glitter. Microchip Hunters reached out and was able to connect with the most recent owner on file (There were 2 registrations with 2 chip companies and 2 owners). Glitter's owner, however, said that she took off after a car just a few months after he adopted her and couldn't find her. He now lives in a high-rise that doesn't allow dogs. We asked that he surrender the dog to animal control, and after talking further, learned she was adopted from another shelter. We let this shelter know in case they wanted to pick her up, and also let CACC know where she came from. The shelter picked her up the next day. She had already been at CACC for 6 days. During this transition time, Microchip Hunters thought it would be a good idea to reach out to the original owner as we usually do, just in case, and we are glad we did! Her number was not current, but a current number was found, and her dog Envy had been missing for several months!!! Envy had been transferred in previously from yet another shelter. We are not sure why Envy wasn't originally reunited before she was transferred and then adopted out, but we are glad she was found again, and now back with her original family where she was missed! Thank you Chicago Animal Care and Control for working with Microchip Hunters - Envy didn't need a new home, she just needed to go home! Lost Dogs Illinois www.microchiphelp.com Microchip Hunters Zero was found by a Good Samaritan in Summerfield, Florida. The microchip was registered, but to a previous owner that rehomed him just a couple of years ago through Craigslist. He only had a name of the person he rehomed to, as the email was through craigslist and no longer valid. Microchip Hunters did some checking and found a match to the name just .3 miles from the found location! He was found with the harness and a broken chain attached. Microchip Hunter Amy D. made some calls and reached the owner! She was very worried! Zero, now named Hunter, had been missing for 4 days. Arrangements were made to pick Hunter up, just in time, the finder already has 3 dogs and family coming to visit for the Holidays with their dogs too! Welcome home Hunter, you are loved! Thank you Sandra for giving him a home until his family was found! Microchip Hunters also registered the microchip to the new owner! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com |
