After 6 long months and many tears, Heidi is back home!

After 6 long months and many tears, Heidi is back home!

Lino, a Good Samaritan, found this little, very skinny dog and posted her to a neighborhood Facebook page! She had a microchip that led to a dead-end per the vet. Cecy, a fan of Lost Dogs Illinois and Microchip Hunters messaged Microchip Hunters (thank you) who looked the chip up and saw a registration for an address about a mile away. The phone number was not a working number, but with some background searching, the son's number was found. He had his sister call me and she was shocked - she said that they had put posters up and everything and that she is a very skittish dog. It is her mom's dog that went missing 6 months ago. They assumed the worst, and 'cried so much about her.'

I gave Heidi's family the number for Lino and they went over to get her. Lino said, 'she was crazy wagging her tail and crying - poor baby.' Thank you for your help with her, Lino! We hope all Good Samaritans scan for microchips and do all they can to reunite these dogs, families really do count on it!

Heidi will be seeing the vet Monday.  From Heidi's family:  "She is so happy to be home!  Thank you so much for your help, we truly appreciate it!"

We will be helping make sure the microchip gets updated correctly
