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...."

Thank you for setting up this effective website. Our beloved shih-tzu was lost and after almost two hours of panicking, your website assisted us in finding her. Many thanks - words can't express our gratitude.

Thanks you sooo much for all your help! I found Stanley last night. He was trapped in our neighbors basement and was just too scared to find his way out. I'm so happy he's back and that he wasn't hurt. Again, thank you so much for everything.

Dog Thought Dead is Home Safe

Whether or not PetLynx has played a role in the recovery of a pet, we love to share good news when a lost dog or cat gets Home Safe!

In August 2009, a dog named "Zoe" darted out the door of her guardian's Ohio home. Neighbours saw her get hit by a car and then run off into the woods. Although they looked for her in earnest, her family feared she was dead.

Ten long months after her disappearance, Zoe was found by a volunteer of Love-A-Stray, an Avon Lake, Ohio, animal welfare organization. Thanks to the collar and identification tags she was wearing, Love-A-Stray was able to locate her family.

If Only Pets Could Talk!

Your dog (or cat) may have a wide repertoire of tricks, but no matter how smart you think she is, she will never be able to tell a stranger your address and phone number! Ensuring our companion animals have traceable pet identification (I.D.) is one way that we can guarantee that they can "speak" for themselves should they become lost.

However, the most important thing to remember about any kind of pet I.D. is that it is completely useless if you fail to update your personal information when you move or change phone numbers.

Whenever you change any of your contact information, be sure to alert all organizations and agencies with your new details. Ensure your dog or cat has a "ticket home" by registering with PetLynx, too! Even in the absence of any form of traceable identification. the PetLynx Automatch system can help you recover your lost pet based on a physical description alone!
