Chicago Animal Care and Control sent this registered microchip information over to Microchip Hunters when the phone number was not in service. The registration was from another state!

Microchip Hunters was having trouble finding background information for this family, so decided to call the facility that microchipped this dog, in case they had additional information. They did, and the number was good!

Niño's family answered the phone, and only spoke Spanish. I used what little Spanish I knew to explain the call, and suddenly heard tears of joy and happiness in his words! That sound is universal to all languages. It brought tears to my eyes too! I told him his dog was ok, and that I would be texting him!

We communicated through translate and was told that he had another 'little' dog. He was hoping she was also at CACC but she was not microchipped. Within minutes, he was in the car and heading to animal control. CACC told me another dog was with this dog when they were brought in!

Niño y Niña's family signed for both dogs to be neutered and spayed and were picked up today! He told me he brought them with him from Venezuela.

"I've been crying since Wednesday, you can't even imagine how much I love them."

Welcome home Niño y Niña, you are loved. Back home photo below! We will be helping update Nino's microchip too!

These are the faces of some of the faces Microchip Hunters assisted getting home recently! Thank you to Chicago Animal Care and Control for partnering with us to help!

In Bill's case, the microchip was registered to the previous owner, so Microchip Hunters worked to reach the family to authorize Bill to go home to his current family! He didn't have to wait for the 7 day stray hold to end!

Dante went back to his family, the son was 13 years old when they got him 14 years ago!

Note: Minnie and Mickey did not belong to the same family !

They are all very loved and didn't need a new home!

Thank you to the Animal Protection Association of Missouri (Olivette) for sending Rocky's microchip information to Microchip Hunters!

Rocky was turned in to the APA Missouri! The owner on file with the microchip company had outdated information so they sent it to Microchip Hunters for help!

Microchip Hunter Amy W. was able to reach the family on file after doing research to find current information! His family rehomed Rocky, but contacted the family she rehomed him to, and both of them went together to pick him up!

The found Pit Bull, her name is Yolanda but her family calls her Yoli, from #Chicago #IL is home safe and sound! Found 2023-09-10 Reunited 2023-09-11. Welcome Yoli!

Microchip Hunters was messaged by Lost Dogs Illinois volunteer Mary Anne because the finder said this girl had an unregistered microchip. Turned out to be the case, and Microchip Hunters contacted Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) for the owner information. She was microchipped from them. The owner's phone number was outdated, but Microchip Hunters found a working number. The finder who said Yoli is so sweet, could not hold on to her and had dropped her off with CACC and the family went right away when they got the call from Microchip Hunters. They tried to pick her up before 7 pm. The doors were locked when they arrived so they went first thing today to pick her up! She was current on vaccines and spayed, so her reclaim was easy! Yolanda is loved!

Microchip Hunters registered the microchip with the family!
