 This cat was found, and a family that was missing their cat thought he was theirs after they received a call that someone found their cat. A few days later, someone actually DID find their cat, and they were called because of the microchip!
So... the family had "Curious George" scanned and reached out to Microchip Hunters for help getting this found cat home! The microchip was never registered, but I contacted the rescue and was given the owner information. The rescue assured me that they would take the cat back if the owner couldn't keep him. Our newest volunteer, Dianne, took this case, and found the family on Facebook (phone number wasn't current). She said her ex kept the cat but found out he wasn't keeping him inside at all, and really didn't want him...BUT she did! She drove 45 minutes to Grand Rapids to pick him up! She hasn't seen the cat for 2 years and was excited to have him back!!! From the finder 'So happy for this ending for this cat, and so glad you were able to reunite!!!' Welcome back home George! You are loved!!! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com

 Microchip Hunters worked on reaching his family when the phone number on the microchip was not current, and heard back through Facebook! Chase went missing from the family's yard and had been missing a week. He is loved, and it was suggested to the family that they request help from CRISP when picking him up from Chicago Animal Care and Control, as he has some medical issues that may require some treatment or surgery. Chase went home, and he is now neutered! They are glad he is back! Welcome home Chase, you are loved! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Help www.microchiphelp.com Microchip Hunters newest volunteer, Anna, spoke to Jose's daughter, after she reached an uncle who relayed the message! The phone number registered on the microchip did not belong to Jose any longer, so Chicago Animal Control had sent this to Microchip Hunters for help! Turned out they were looking for Nanook and went the same day to pick him up! Found 9/30/2023 Reunited 10/4/2023 Welcome home Nanook!!! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com   Thank you Marshfield Area Pet Shelter for sending this microchip information to www.microchiphelp.com for help when you couldn't reach the family!
"We have a happy ending to Gracie's story! Her real name is Bella and thanks to Lisa (left in the picture), a volunteer with Microchip Hunters, we were able to reach Bella’s owner! Bella went missing from her Chicago area home in August 2021. Her owner, Ebony, searched everywhere, hung posters and never gave up hope. Bella is now reunited with her very grateful mom thanks to the good samaritans who found her, the Microchip Hunters team and her microchip! Watch News 9 WAOW and WSAW NewsChannel 7 at 9pm and 10pm TONIGHT to hear more about her happy reunion! " Thank you Lisa for reaching the brother so he could let the family know she was found!!! Bella’s family traveled 3 1/2 hours today to Wisconsin to pick Bella up!!! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com "Last week, a volunteer with Delco Dawgs was able to trap a small stray dog that had eluded them for months and brought her to us! The small black dog, now known as Ellie, was scared, anxious, and had heartworms. She had a microchip which we thought would help us find her owners, but unfortunately, it was unregistered. That is when we turned to Microchip Help for help tracking down the original owners of the microchip. After several hours of calls, they matched the Microchip to Main Line Animal Rescue and Ellie was officially “found!” She had gone missing from her owner, after being adopted, on April 17th, 2022. Since then she had been fending for herself without heartworm medication. She had been transported from Louisiana as part of a Heartworm grant. After several sightings throughout the year and a half, they had almost given up hope she was still alive. On Wednesday, September 27th, we were able to reunite Ellie with the Site Director, Nichola Redmond, and Volunteer, Denise, of Main Line Animal Rescue! She will go back to their rescue where she will receive her much-needed heartworm treatment! We are so grateful that several animal welfare organizations were able to come together to save the life of sweet Ellie!"   Microchip Hunters was able to reach Bambi's family to let them know he was at Chicago Animal Care and Control. CACC wasn't able to reach the family and wanted to be sure 14 year old Bambi got home quickly. Microchip Hunter Amy W. found a working number for the sister, and they sent someone to pick him up!
Welcome home Bambi!!! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com  Thank you to all who posted about this little dog roaming for two weeks, and to all that helped keep her fed and safe. Special thanks to Tati Marie for your help getting her and taking her to the 25th district police station for a family to find her.
Microchip Hunters (Lost Dogs Illinois) reached out to the station and received the microchip number. It was unregistered, but Paws Chicago was able to provide owner information. Thank you! Sadly, Microchip Hunters, through research, found that the owner had passed away recently, so started reaching out to relatives as the number on file from 2015 was not current. It was found that the daughter rehomed Bonita, and didn't know she was missing. She can't keep her in the apartment she is in, but has another friend that would love to have her, so she is on her way to pick Bonita up! She never heard from the people she had given her to. Bonita will be happy to see her, she has not been very happy these last couple of weeks and is very scared. We are told she was a nice and calm dog... We are glad to hear that she will be going to a friend who she knows well. Thank you again to the community for caring about these animals and doing something to help!!! You are very appreciated!!! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com  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! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchip.com  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! Welcome home Rocky! Lost Dogs Illinois Microchip Hunters www.microchiphelp.com |
