Mia was at Will County Animal Control, and the owner from the microchip was unable to be reached.

Microchip Hunters was sent the chip and found a working phone number. Her family had rehomed her a couple of months prior, and they were so surprised. The new owner was not answering their calls. They are not home as much as they feel Mia needs, but her and her children love her, and we were told they missed her so much.

Mia's family picked her up, with the help of Lost Dogs Illinois. They weren't able to pay the reclaim fee. In addition, Mia's family gave her food, leash, bowls, etc. to the new family. We reached out to Our House of Hope, Inc., in Libertyville, as this family lives in Lake County. Our House of Hope immediately said they could help with supplies, and they were able to pick them up right away!

Sometimes things work out differently than we think. Mia has a family that loves her. We are happy she is back home with them.

Welcome home Mia

Caesar was picked up as a stray and taken to Chicago Animal Care and Control - his microchip information wasn't current, so the information was sent to Microchip Hunters!

Microchip Hunter Liz spent time trying numbers, emails and facebook messaging, then finally heard back from a granddaughter she sent a facebook message too. The granddaughter gave Liz the current number for her grandmother, and Caesar went home today!

Walton County GA Animal Control took in Isabel, found as a stray in Monroe, Georgia. Her microchip was registered to owners in Atlantic Beach, Florida, but both phone numbers were disconnected.

We were so happy they sent this to Microchip Hunters for help!

I was able to do some research on-line and found a number for a grandson, who put his grandmother on the other line with me. She told me she couldn't keep the two little dogs but had three others she was able to take with her when she moved. She said she rehomed them, and had been called once before, years ago also for Isabel. She didn't know who the owners were. I asked where she took them and she told me the 'dog pound' in Jacksonville!

I sent an email to the Jacksonville Animal Control, and they were able to find the adopter information from 2013, but when I tried the phone number, it also was dead-end. He lived in Jacksonville.

I went back to researching and found a relative for the adopter, who lived in Georgia! I was excited to see that! Christine answered, and right away asked where "Bella" was. She said her brother changes numbers often but lives close to where she was found. She hadn't spoken to him in a few weeks, but after given the information, she went as soon as they opened Monday to pick her up. After all, she is family.

Welcome home Bella - thank you to Walton Animal Control for sending this to us, and to sister Christine, for helping her brother!

Christine was given the information to get the microchip changed over!
