Dixie is HomeSafe in Regina

Dixie, a 13-year old Border Collie/Sheltie cross had a lot of people very worried when she slipped  out a gate and ran away. Perhaps she was disoriented considering that there was plenty of action at the home at the time. There were construction workers in the yard, the family was on vacation and a relative was caring for the dog!

A call to the Regina Humane Society directed the dog's caregiver to the PetLynx website and she says it was very helpful. Thankfully, the run-away was apprehended within the hour ... so this HomeSafe story has a very happy ending!

Safe and Found in Regina

When Tyler saw a puppy narrowly miss being hit by a car, he pulled over, scooped it up and took it home.

"The puppy had a collar, but no tattoo or tag," explained Tyler. "He smelled like he'd just been bathed, so we knew he was being missed by someone."

Tyler and his family then drove around the neighborhood asking if anyone had lost a pup. They posted ads on UsedRegina.com and Kijiji. The next day they called the Regina Humane Society. They were directed to their website, to post a found report on PetLynx.

"I had never heard of PetLynx before," said Tyler, "but it looked like a great idea so we posted the information and my wife left to take the dog to the humane society. As soon as she walked out the door, I checked Petlynx again and, there was a match!"

Tyler immediately called the owner... then he called his wife to tell her to turn around and come home! The puppy's grateful owner had been 'matched' on PetLynx.

"I liked the ease of using PetLynx," said Tyler. "AutoMatch ™ is a WICKED idea! Thank you again for hosting such a great site!"
