Muchas gracias estoy mucho muy agradecida!!!
Chloe went missing close to 4 years ago, and her family got a call today that she was found and is coming home! They had her microchipped in 2011. Chloe's microchip was never registered and Chicago Animal Control requested information from the implant facility, Paws Chicgo. In the meantime, they sent it to Microchip Hunters who heard back from Paws Chicago with the owner information the next morning. The owner only spoke Spanish, but put her young daughter on the phone. She understood I was asking about a Chihuahua. The daughter explained that they were missing Chloe and that she went missing 3 years ago. They waited a couple hours for Chicago Animal Control to open, and went to reclaim her immediately! They went to get her a bed and food, and she is home resting comfortably! "Si pero después de 4años sin verla le daremos todo el amor que ella se merece fue mucho tiempo de estar sin ella: "Yes, but after 4 years without seeing her, we will give her all the love she deserves. It was a long time without her." Imagine if she wasn't microchipped. She would have not made it home. Once again, the importance of the microchip - we don't know when our dogs might go missing. Thank you Chicago Animal Care and Control for submitting and PAWS Chicago for your wonderful record keeping! We will help make sure to get Chloe's microchip registered. Welcome home, you are loved Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com

Kisses was found in Chicago and taken to VEG, who then took her to Chicago Animal Care and Control on October 4. Kisses did have a microchip, but the phone number was no longer valid, so they sent her info to the Microchip Hunters for help. Luckily, Kisses’ owner was pretty easy to locate online through his business page, and he responded to Jessica S very quickly. He said that he had believed Kisses and her brother Hugs were safely in the custody of his ex but has since come to believe they were released sometime in the last year. Kisses’ owner was very excited at the opportunity to be reunited with his cat and picked her up from CACC on October 9! LLost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com 10-year-old Biscuit was found by a good Samaritan and taken to Chicago Animal Care and Control on October 3. Biscuit did have a microchip, but the phone number was disconnected.
Microchip Hunter Jessica S did some digging and was able to find the number for the owner’s daughter. The daughter answered her phone on her way to work and immediately pulled over when she realized her mother’s missing dog had been found! She said her mother had been distraught and crying since Biscuit had gone missing. Mother and daughter were able to bring Biscuit home on October 6. Jessica S said this one was a little extra special because her own mother had previously had a cat named Biscuit. Lost Dogs Illinois www.microchiphelp.com Microchip Hunters This little dog was abandoned outside of Chicago Animal Care and Control, and people were told by this person that left the dog that she barks too much. 'They didn't want to wait to officially surrender.
Thank you to Chicago Animal Care and Control for submitting this case to Microchip Hunters when the phone number for the chip was not correct. The owner on this microchip called Microchip Hunters immediately when they received an email that her dog was found. Stormy went missing exactly a year ago. It turns out that 3 of the numbers entered on Stormy's registration were transposed, but her email was correct. Stormy went home after her spay, thanks to her microchip! No assumptions here! We know there are many circumstances that bring animals to animal control, and they are not always what they appear. We have no idea how Stormy ended up with a new family that brought her in to surrender, but we do know that her family was really happy to get this email! Welcome home Stormy, glad you are back with your family. Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com Isabella was found by a good Samaritan and taken to Chicago Animal Care and Control on Sep 26, 2024. Isabella was microchipped but when CACC tried to call her owner they discovered the number was no longer working so they submitted the information to the Microchip Hunters.
Microchip Hunter Jessica was able to find an email address for Isabella’s owner. Soon after receiving the email her owner had emailed and texted Jessica back to confirm she was Isabella’s owner, and she was looking for her! Isabella was picked up from CACC and is back home. Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com Bordi's microchip was registered to his family that rehomed him years ago, and their phone number had changed. Chicago Animal Care and Control had him at their facility and reached out to Microchip Hunters.
Microchip Hunters was able to reach the family by finding a working number, and they provided the name and number for the family they gave Bordi to. They went and picked him up today, after speaking to them last night. We are happy he didn't have to stay at animal control longer than necessary...make sure chips are registered and transferred to you! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com Could that dog you took in belong to someone that is missing them?
Once again, we can't emphasize the importance of registering your pet's microchip, keeping it up to date, AND the importance of scanning a found dog or dog you are taking in to see if they are chipped. It could mean the difference of having a pet for years, only to be returned to an original owner if the dog gets out. Princesa was picked up and taken to the Chicago Police Department and transferred to Chicago Animal Care and Control. She is microchipped but there wasn't a registration or implant facility to be found, until it was sent to Microchip Hunters who found the vet the dog was chipped with and was provided the owner information from 2019. I called the family, and they spoke mostly Spanish but understood their dog was found! Princesa went missing 4/5 years ago, and the family couldn't believe it! She was a puppy when she went missing out of their yard. They called her their baby and wanted to know how to get her - they wanted to go right away. They have since gotten another German Shepherd. The son called to confirm everything since he speaks English. We are not sure if whoever she was with for all these years is looking for her, but had they registered the microchip, she could be back home with them. Sadly, this happens too often and is such a simple fix. If you get a new dog or cat, make sure to get them scanned for a chip. If chipped check if it is registered by going to the petmicrochip lookup tool and entering the chiip number, or ask your vet for help. The dog or cat you are taking in may have an owner missing them! Welcome home Princesa, you are loved and were missed! Your family said they were looking for you for a long time. We heard she is going to the vet tomorrow to get checked out, and that she is adjusting to her home with the other dog too. Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com Clyde is home, but her sister Bonnie is not
Clyde was found and brought into Chicago Animal Care and Control where her microchip was scanned but had outdated information for her family. It was sent to Microchip Hunters where volunteer Cheryl was able to connect with her family by reaching a relative first! She learned that their other dog is also missing, and they wondered if she was also found. Clyde has a sister Bonnie who looks very much the same and has not been found. Microchip Hunters registered her microchip, and her family is waiting for a call that she was found! We are so glad that Clyde is home, let's get Bonnie back too, they need to be together! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com Goldie's family was relieved to get a call that she was found. She is 13! Her microchip was not registered but the implant facility provided owner information to Chicago Animal Care and Control. The phone number was no longer working so Chicago animal Care and Control sent it to Microchip Hunters. Microchip Hunter Cheryl was able to find a number for the son, who said Goldie is his dog! He was able to pick her up with authorization from his mom (she was the person she was chipped to). Welcome home sweet girl!
Lost Dogs Illinois www.microchiphelp.com Microchip Hunters Emer had it rough from the start. At only three weeks old Emer was found in a hospital emergency room parking lot in Texas by a hospital security guard. The security guard convinced a hospital worker that he would make a good puppy for her children. They named the puppy Emer because of where he was found.
The hospital worker took him home and took care of him for about three years. She then became ill and was no longer able to care for him. Emer was left alone in her home with the neighbors looking after him. Carmen and Mark would visit him at the neighbor’s home and make sure that he had food and water and as much loving as they could give him. Carmen and Mark were unable to take him into their home because they already had three pets. Carmen and Mark knew that this was no life for Emer and so they reluctantly gave him up to a Texas shelter who transferred Emer to a rescue in Chicago. Carmen immediately regretted it and tried to call the rescue in Chicago where he was, but unfortunately, he was already adopted. Carmen was able to find the new owner on the rescue’s Facebook page and kept in touch with her for a while getting updates on how Emer was doing. Emer was with his new owner for over two years. During this time, they moved to Ohio where unknown circumstances caused him to once again become a stray. A Good Samaritan found him in a Taco Bell parking lot where the employees were feeding him. The Good Samaritan cleaned Emer up and had him looked over by a vet who found Emer’s chip. After exhausting her options in finding the Emer’s owner, the Good Samaritan turned to Microchip Hunters for help. Microchip Hunters did everything that they could to find Emer’s owner by chip. Neither Microchip Hunters, the rescue he came from, nor the good Samaritan had any luck contacting this owner in Ohio. A Microchip Hunter volunteer checked the FB page of the rescue that Emer was adopted from and found the original adoption post with comments from Carmen. Because Carmen included her contact information in the post, Microchip Hunters was able to contact her, and she was very excited to hear from them. Carmen immediately said that she would try and contact the owner. Carmen said that she didn’t want anything bad to happen to Emer and she and her husband, now without any pets, would love to have him. Both Carmen and her husband attempted to contact Emer’s owner, but they were both unsuccessful. Because no contact could be made with the owner and the mandatory hold time had expired the Good Samaritan sent Emer back to Chicago to the rescue he was adopted from. This time he would not get away from Carmen and Mark. With the help of the Microchip Hunters volunteer all Carmens information and history with Emer was given to the rescue and they agreed that Emer needed to go back to Texas to his forever family. It took over a month to get Emer to Texas but when he got there, Carmen and Mark were waiting for him. Carmen said “He spotted us, came right away to us wagging his tail. Just perfect!”. It was obvious that Emer was very happy to see them again after almost three years. Emer now goes on adventures and is in a very loving home where he has a yard to roam in whenever he wants. A big thank you to all involved in Emer's safety and return home, welcome home Emer!!! Story by Microchip Hunter Deb, who went above and beyond to make sure Emer could get back home!
