'Toast' Pops Up to Enjoy Some Iams Cat Food!

'Toast' is the epitome of the ideal cat – pleasant, affectionate, patient and quiet,  with an expression of satisfied contentment 24/7. She pops in and out all day, but one afternoon earlier this summer, I got concerned when I hadn’t seen her in a few hours.  I called her name and my son and I walked the neighbourhood looking for her. There was no sign of her anywhere!

I went on the Parkland County Animal Control website. They have a link to the PetLynx website and I registered Toast as missing. In the meantime, we also placed ads in the newspaper and put up posters in the neighborhood. After seven days, Toast returned. She looked relaxed and somewhat mystified by the elated reaction of my son and I! To celebrate her safe return we opened a can of tuna fish and I went out and got a bag of IAMS (her favourite cat food).

Look-a-Like Lost Cats Equals Double Trouble!

This unusual PetLynx HomeSafe story is an excellent example of why all companion animals  should have some form of permanent identification, such as a tattoo or microchip.

"We were elated when we thought we had found our domestic long-haired cat, Lulu, in a backyard just three houses down from ours," wrote Nina S. of Calgary "She appeared nervous, hungry and thirsty, but otherwise healthy. We considered that 'Lulu' may have became disorientated after being chased into a hiding spot and then had no idea how to get home again.

"But there was something in the shape of this cat's face,... the density of her coat and the way she reacted to our dog made us doubt ourselves. Was this really our Lulu, we wondered? It sure looked like her but...."

PetLynx Results in Immediate Action!

I found the PetLynx website after my cat, Tilley, became lost. I have been down this road before with a lost kitty and I know about the sleepless nights spent wondering and the heart sick feeling spending days hoping... comforting children and pretending to be hopeful while imagining good endings.  

Almost immediately after posting Tilley's information on PetLynx, I viewed the 'found' listings and there he was! Thankfully, Tilley is now happily at home ... and my heart is not apart. Thank you so much for this service! PetLynx is outstanding and has taken away what could have been days of searching and sadness.

Thank you!

Little Bird Lost .... HomeSafe, Thanks to PetLynx Poster

Dear PetLynx;

My name is Jonas and I am a cockatiel. My family was heartbroken when I got scared and flew out the door ... and they couldn't find me. A pet is part of the family and they missed me so much!

The next day my guardians gave the City of Hamilton Animal Control a copy of the 'Lost Bird' poster that they printed using the PetLynx website.

Lost Your Pet? Register FREE for 7 Days!

"I wanted to thank you for the PetLynx website. My indoor cat went missing two weeks ago and, while he is not back yet, I want you to know that registering with PetLynx and checking with your site has helped. You do good! It was very reassuring too, to be able to register free for seven days! It was one less thing to worry about in the beginning and then come back later with a clearer head.

Posters Help Pets Get Home ....Safe!

Creating a Lost Report  -- and posters -- is quick and easy with PetLynx!

Ted T. from Winnipeg, Manitoba, discovered how easy it was to create Lost Pet posters when his animal companion went missing.

"PetLynx was recommended to me by the Winnipeg Humane Society," wrote Tim. "I found the website was particularly useful in helping me create lost posters. I think more people should know about PetLynx  BEFORE they lose their pet. Thank you very much for providing this service."

Purloined Puppies Now Have Microchips!

My missing dogs were found at the neighbors, just two doors away, ... thanks to a tip from another neighbor. The teenage daughter was holding them on her deck (which is hidden by trees), with her parents and siblings present, while I was calling and whistling not 30 feet away from them!

It looked very suspicious as our three acres is completely fenced and the dogs can not crawl over, under or through. We wonder if she opened the gate and let them out?

Pet Adoptions That Really Rock!

There is always cause for celebration when a lost pet is reunited with their guardians. Whether PetLynx played a role in a successful recovery or not, we are always thrilled to hear when a wayward dog or cat gets home... safe!


But in animal shelters across the world, many dogs, cats and other companion animals are never claimed and must wait to find a new 'forever home.' Knowing that every new animal adoption is something special, the good folks at the Nevada Humane Society have put a new spin on saying "congratulations" as they present one lucky dog to an excited new owner! Watch their adoption entrance dance ... it is sure to put a smile on your face!
