Happy and HomeSafe with PetLynx

"I happened to be off work today with a cold and was on Kijiji looking for people who have lost their pets. I had used Petlynx before when my husband and I found a dog named Zoey in Dec 2011. I went to the PetLynx site and what do you know? There is a dog whose collar was matching the exact discription of the ad.  So I went ahead and emailed the owner and said " I think you might want to call this number."  The owner emailed me back saying " thank you so much!! Titan was missing for 4 days who now is back with his owner.  This absolutely made my day. I wish more people knew about petlynx/ this website. I will spread the word as much as I can and I will continue to help owners find their furry friends.  "

A PetLynx/ Pet Owner Win


"I was delighted to meet you today at the Opening of the Animal Care and Control Centre. It is such a wonderful facility for so many reasons.

I wanted to share with you in greater detail my impression of PetLynx. When my boy, Jay Jay, went missing, I quickly realized that I had no idea how to go about finding him, or where to find the information to start.

After several frantic calls, I was directed to the Animal Care and Control Centre. When I realized that he wasn’t there, I was at a loss. The ACCC, trying to calm my state of panic directed me to your online presence – which they spoke very highly of. Immediately, it gave me something to focus on instead of the worst – which is what was going through my mind.

As soon as I arrived home (about 4:30 that day – March 15th), I went to your site and immediately completed the profile of my little man, uploaded a picture and prayed. Being from the multimedia sector myself, (I manufacture CDs and DVDs for a variety of corporate, government, educational and NFP clients) I recognized the tremendous thought and effort that went into developing that incredibly intuitive online tool. I wanted to congratulate you on providing a place for frantic pet owners to place their hope.

I have to say, as dramatic as it seems, my faith in humanity was restored that day and I feel blessed to have gotten my boy back – nearly 5 1Ž2 hours after he went missing. Thank you for providing a tool that I will remember and instantly refer should I come across anyone that has lost, or found, someone’s beautiful pet."
