Always honored to be able to help animal control

Susan from Waukegan Animal Control reached out to Microchip Hunters after North Chicago Animal Control contacted her about a found dog with a dead-end microchip.

I reached out to Damien at North Chicago for a photo and details about where this sweet girl was found — he shared both and told me she’s an absolute sweetheart who already had a lot of interest!

I was able to track down the name of the facility here that originally microchipped her. After a couple of days of follow-up, I received a text from the facility with the owner’s information!

We learned that this sweet girl — named Pat — was microchipped at their San Diego location! Unfortunately, the phone number they provided was no longer current, and there was no address or email. But I kept digging and was able to find the address of a family member — just half a mile from where Pat had been found (she had wandered right into a school!).

While I continued trying to connect with the family by phone, I shared the address with Damien, and he was able to personally reunite Pat with her family! I was so happy — we knew someone was missing her.

The microchip will be updated and an ID tag sent for her collar!

Thank you to Damien and both animal control teams for trusting Microchip Hunters!
