"That's my baby, thank you"

​Thank you Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation for reaching out to Microchip Hunters when helping a Good Samaritan with a found dog.

The microchip was registered to a family but the numbers and address on file were outdated.

Microchip Hunters was able to reach the mother of the family, and received a call within minutes. I shared a photo of Aziza and passed along the contact information for the finder and her daughter, and arrangements were made for pickup!

"That's my baby, thank you" Welcome home, Aziza!

Microchip Hunters made sure the contact information for the microchip was updated, and an ID tag was ordered for her collar in case she goes on another adventure!

"The dog got out when my son opened the door for Trick or Treaters"

Thank you to Waukegan Police Animal Control for messaging Microchip Hunters for help getting Oreo home after trying to get information from the chip. It showed 8 different companies and nothing to show who the chip was sold to.

After some further searching, Microchip Hunters was able to find the pet store in Wisconsin that Oreo came from. The store spent some time looking for records with owner information and was able to find it! The family lived in Park City, and I was able to connect with them. They said the dog got out when their sone opened the door for trick or treaters, and they looked all day for him.

Oreo was picked up within 20 minutes; we are so thankful for facilities that go the extra mile to find the families of these animals, and for thinking of Microchip Hunters!

Welcome home, Oreo

Angela sent Microchip Hunters a message through Facebook requesting help for a microchip for a cat found in Beach Park. Thank you! The cat was 'hanging out on the finder's porch (Jenn) day and night,' and had a microchip with a phone number attached to the owner, but it wasn't going through.

Microchip Hunters was able to connect with a brother who provided his sister's current number! Hobbs had been missing for a year, and she was so happy to get this call! She has since moved to Elgin. "Oh. My. Gosh. YES!!!!! That's my HOBBS!! He's been gone for about a year!! I can't believe you have him!!"

I was able to provide Hobb's family with Jenn's number and they connected! Jenn drove Hobbs all the way from Beach Park to Elgin to get him back to his family that had moved and had no car! She also provided food, bowls and a litter box! Thank you so much, Jenn, you are truly special, and Hobbs' family is so grateful!

Microchip Hunters was able to help get the chip updated to the family's new address and phone number.

"Thank you more than I can express I am indebted to you seriously"

Thank you Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation for believing in keeping this family together, and for providing them the help they need to keep them safe and healthy!

Garrido Stray reached out to Microchip Hunters when the family's number and address weren't current for 3 dogs that were let out of a car and found. Microchip Hunters reached a family member by email, who gave Erik the information that his dogs were found. When he called, he told me he was very worried and so happy that they all stayed together. "I'll keep my hopes up and pray that I'll get to see them again."

Here is the full story: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FXrSQ38Em/

As Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation said:

"This rescue effort was a true community response.
A BIG Thank YOU to:
The good samaritans who stepped in first
The 16th District Police for their quick action
Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters for working their magic
Mariola for picking them up and fostering immediately, and buying them treats and soft food.

The Dog House for donating grooming and safe boarding
Pet Wants Chicago for stepping up with food donation.
And every supporter who shared posts, searched neighborhoods, and helped piece the story together.

Happy Happy!

Happy was brought in to Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) as found by a Good Samaritan. He had a rabies tag, and an unregistered microchip that CACC wasn't able to get owner information for.

Microchip Hunters was contacted, and able to reach Cook County Animal and Rabies Control who provided the animal hospital the rabies tag was sold to! It took the animal hospital a little while to find the information, but they did and Microchip Hunters was so happy to make this call to the family!

Happy's microchip is now registered!

Welcome home, Happy Boy!!!

“solomon had been missing for 2 YEARS!!"

“Solomon had been missing for 2 YEARS!!"

Solomon’s microchip wasn’t registered, and Chicago Animal Control reached out to Microchip Hunters for help tracking down information.

The microchip was traced to a distributor, who informed Microchip Hunter Amy that it had been sold to Fox College Vet Tech Institute in 2015. Thankfully, they were able to provide details about which Humane Society the dog with this microchip had been sent to, and the Humane Society had the owner’s information!

Microchip Hunter Valerie called the owner and left a message. When the owner called back, she was overjoyed: “She was screaming on the phone; she couldn’t believe he’d been found! She’ll be picking him up tomorrow. She adopted him when he was 5 years old.”

After two long years, Solomon is finally going home.

"I’m just glad you got him back for me; thanks a million, Microchip Hunters. What would we do without you?"

Welcome home, sweet Solomon. You were missed!

"Attached is finally a happy ending"

Rose from Calumet City Animal Control submitted a microchip help request to Microchip Hunters. The microchip went to an owner from 2013, but they split up. The ex kept her, but rehomed her in 2019. The chip had never been updated, and the original owner only had a name and outdated phone number, but Microchip Hunters was able to research and find an email that was associated with the daughter.

The daughter replied to the email quickly, and was able to pass along the information for the family that has been loving Sigma the past 6 years! They were so happy to get a call and to learn where she was so they could pick her up! She had been missing for a few months!

The message received this morning says it all: "Good morning Jeanette. Sigma was picked up, thanks so much for your help have a great day. Attached is finally a happy ending" I received a beautiful reunion photo from both the owner and Rose, and will be helping the family get the microchip transferred! Thank you, Rose, for sending this to Microchip Hunters. We are so happy to be a part of this reunion!

​Kinsley was taken to Chicago Animal Care and Control by a Good Samaritan that found her! Thank you!!!

When Chicago Animal Care and Control was unable to find owner or implant facility information for this microchip, they submitted to Microchip Hunters! Thank you!!!

I (Microchip Hunters) was able to find the 'pet store' that Kinsley came from! It took them a couple of days, but the store was able to find the microchip number and match to her family for me and also provided them my number! Thank you!!!  "She is a Yorkie Chon, born September 2021! Photos were sent to me as well; you could see how loved she is!!! Boy were they happy to get this call!

Kinsley's family went right away to reclaim her, she stayed for spay, and is now home!

Microchip Hunters will be registering the microchip with the family.

Thank you North Chicago Animal Control for texting a Microchip Number to Microchip Hunters this morning for help getting Goose home!

Microchip Hunters made a call to the owner on the chip, but it was her and her ex boyfriend's dog, and he kept the dog! They lived in North Carolina, and he was in the Navy. She didn't have contact with him any longer.
After getting a full name and age for the boyfriend, I was able to find a working number for him!!! He said his wife had texted him earlier that Goose was out, as their door had blown open overnight. He is now at the naval base in North Chicago!

She went immediately to animal control and reclaimed Goose! Microchip Hunters worked on helping to get the microchip information transferred to them correctly and also ordered an ID tag for him!
"Thank you so, so much" " Welcome home, Goose!!!
