Thank you to fan AJ for sharing a post from Union County Animal Control, Cobden IL to Lost Dogs Illinois. The post was of a senior Chihuahua (17) with a microchip and Cook County Rabies tag. Union County stated they were having no luck contacting either of the numbers associated with the chip.
Microchip Hunters reached out to Union County AC to see about helping and was given the chip number. It looked like the owner on file had passed away, so some research was done, and the daughter was found. The daughter told me that her cousin Melody took Jack in when her parents had passed away. She called Melody who called me right away! Melody told me she and her two dogs were in the yard when suddenly Jack was gone. She was extremely happy to get this call, and I received a text 30 minutes later that he was home! Quickest reunite ever with an animal control facility! Thank you, Union County AC! We will be transferring Jack's microchip information over to Melody! Jack says, " thank you Ms. Jeanette"... he was left to me by my uncle who passed away in December, I know he is ancient, but he is like a family member, and we love him!

Cindy P. found this sweet, friendly cat in Chicago and scanned her for a microchip. She was chipped! Cindy P. called the microchip company that the chip came from, and they reached out to Cleo's owner. Cleo's owner, Maira, panicked and went to see if her cat was home, and she was!
Cindy then messaged Microchip Hunters for help with this mixed-up chip. Microchip Hunters (MH) called the chip company and reached out to this owner (Maira) again to see if this could be figured out! Maira told me (MH) when she went to pick her cat Cleo up, there was someone also picking up from the facility. This other person, Brittany, also had a cat named Cleo and they came out with the wrong cat for her. She told them that wasn't her cat, and they went back and got the correct Cleo. They thought nothing of it after that. Thankfully, Maira had the paperwork provided to her, and read me the microchip number. It was not a match to the cat found! I contacted the Microchip company again and got the owner information for this second chip number, who was also registered to a cat named Cleo in Chicago. This address was about a mile from the found location! Brittany didn't answer the phone but did reply to my text asking if she was missing a cat named Cleo. "Yes, oh my goodness!! We've been looking for her. She was missing for roughly 3 days." I explained what happened with the microchip and she said, "They did bring out the wrong Cleo when I got her spayed." Please get your animals scanned at their next vet visit (or sooner) to make sure the microchip number is correct and contact the microchip company to make sure your information is registered correctly too if you haven't done so. Accidents happen and we don't want it to prevent a happy reunion such as this! Thank you, Cindy, and Maira for your help getting Cleo home to her family! Maira and Brittany will be correcting their microchip registrations, and the facility was notified too for their records! "Thank you so much, my girls will be so happy! Thanks for doing all this work!! Much appreciated" #MicrochipHunters www.microchiphelp.com Home at Last! The found Pekingese from #Chicago, IL is home safe and sound!

Thank you to the 17th district for holding on to 'River' or 'Oliver' and for sharing the information about his microchip and tag to Garrido Stray who in turn messaged Microchip Hunters for help finding the family. Microchip Hunters researched the unregistered chip first, which was sold to a 'breeder sale' in Missouri. The microchip company had no computer records from that time to look anything up on this breeder. The dog was wearing a tag with the dog's name and last name. Microchip Hunters spent some time using background searches to find family members with this last name that lived in this area, but nothing was very close. Regardless, some calls and messages were sent, and I received a reply from the son. He said his mom gave River away in December as she was planning to go back to the Philippines. The son was able to provide me a number for the family they rehomed him to, and "Oliver's" new family was overjoyed to get the call. He let Oliver out in their fenced yard as usual in the morning, but someone had left the gate open overnight and he got out. Oliver's family didn't have transportation, so the 17th district graciously offered to give Oliver a ride home! He is now home safe; microchip will be registered and a new tag for his collar is ordered! Welcome home, Oliver! Hope you enjoyed your day! #LostDogsIllinois #PetFBI ID# 639047 #MicrochipHunters |
