There is a twist! 'Glitter' is 'Envy'

​There is a twist! 'Glitter' is 'Envy'

Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) sent this microchip to Microchip Hunters when they didn't hear back from the owner on file for this dog. Her name was listed as Glitter.

Microchip Hunters reached out and was able to connect with the most recent owner on file (There were 2 registrations with 2 chip companies and 2 owners). Glitter's owner, however, said that she took off after a car just a few months after he adopted her and couldn't find her. He now lives in a high-rise that doesn't allow dogs. We asked that he surrender the dog to animal control, and after talking further, learned she was adopted from another shelter. We let this shelter know in case they wanted to pick her up, and also let CACC know where she came from. The shelter picked her up the next day. She had already been at CACC for 6 days.

During this transition time, Microchip Hunters thought it would be a good idea to reach out to the original owner as we usually do, just in case, and we are glad we did! Her number was not current, but a current number was found, and her dog Envy had been missing for several months!!! Envy had been transferred in previously from yet another shelter. We are not sure why Envy wasn't originally reunited before she was transferred and then adopted out, but we are glad she was found again, and now back with her original family where she was missed!

Thank you Chicago Animal Care and Control for working with Microchip Hunters - Envy didn't need a new home, she just needed to go home!

Owner found!

Zero was found by a Good Samaritan in Summerfield, Florida. The microchip was registered, but to a previous owner that rehomed him just a couple of years ago through Craigslist. He only had a name of the person he rehomed to, as the email was through craigslist and no longer valid.

Microchip Hunters did some checking and found a match to the name just .3 miles from the found location! He was found with the harness and a broken chain attached.

Microchip Hunter Amy D. made some calls and reached the owner! She was very worried! Zero, now named Hunter, had been missing for 4 days. Arrangements were made to pick Hunter up, just in time, the finder already has 3 dogs and family coming to visit for the Holidays with their dogs too!
​
Welcome home Hunter, you are loved! Thank you Sandra for giving him a home until his family was found!
Microchip Hunters also registered the microchip to the new owner!

"I'm pretty excited"

"I'm pretty excited"

Microchip Hunters received a private message from a finder of a cat in Indiana, along with a form submission to microchiphelp.com. "The vet told us it was unregistered and there was no other information attached."

It turns out the microchip submitted had one too many extra letters and numbers. Microchip Hunters started trying a few combinations while waiting for the cat to be rescanned tomorrow by the finder.

After seeing registrations for a Husky and a Rottweiler, the third try was a charm. It was a black and beige cat in the same city!

I called the owner, and he said his cat went missing two weeks ago, and he was waiting for this call. He looked everywhere for him. He said one minute he was sniffing the 'flowers' and the next he was gone! He was devastated and said it is just "him and me. I'm pretty excited. He is 8 years old" He asked that I give the finder his number.

Jeffrey, the finder, messaged me "We're taking him over now! Thanks so much for your help. You do incredible work."

So happy they decided to give Microchip Hunters a try, and that they cared enough about this cat to make sure the microchip was truly a dead end. What a wonderful thing you did for this cat and his family! Thank you Adam and Jeffrey!

Would this cat have gotten home if he wasn't microchipped??? Glad we didn't need to find out!

Welcome home Tiger, you are loved!
