Toby was brought to Chicago Animal Care and Control by a Good Samaritan and thankfully, he had a microchip. The chip was registered to an owner in Tennessee, but when CACC called the number on file, the woman who answered was not the person listed on the registration. With no clear next step, the case was sent over to Microchip Hunters.

The Microchip Hunters team got to work. In digging a little deeper, it was discovered that a relative connected to the microchip information was living right here in Chicago. Microchip Hunter Pauline started there, and success! The Chicago contact was actually the owner.

"This has never happened whilst in my custody until I boarded him at a dog sitter."

He went to Chicago Animal Care and Control, and once his family member confirmed, he was able to provide proof of ownership and reclaim Toby.

Toby's microchip is now updated, including an emergency contact for his wife.

Welcome home, Toby! You are loved!

Bubba ended up at Chicago Animal Care and Control as a stray December. 23rd, however the phone number attached to his microchip was disconnected!

Chicago Animal Care and Control sent to Microchip Hunters for help. By cross-referencing the lost post his family shared on Lost Dogs Illinois, Microchip Hunter Jen tracked down a family member in Japan through Facebook. He confirmed the dog had slipped away while he was pet-sitting just before his move overseas and put us in touch with the owner. After being treated for kennel cough at the shelter, he was officially reunited with his family on January 31st! While he’s a little out of shape from his months on the streets, his owner shared that 'he is in great spirits and so happy to be home."

Welcome home Bubba! You are loved!!!

Keep the contact information up to date on your pet's microchip!
