Daisy
Miniature Schnauzer
Lora L (Cypress, TX)
Date Found: 10/10/09
When I lost my furry companion one morning I was devastated, I just new she was gone for good. It wasn't until I calmed down and remembered seeing something on the news about another woman who had lost her dog and found him again because of this website she went to. I figured it couldn't hurt and my Daisy was worth every penny. Because of the help from this website I got my Daisy back in one piece, safe and sound and even made friends with the couple that was good enough to go to the trouble to try and find me. I'm convinced that if it wasn't for the help of this website I would have lost one of my best friends forever. I will forever be in the debt to the people who run this website, I can't thank you enough. Regards, Lora Laughlin-Laurel (and Daisy). :)

This was one of the last resorts I thought would help out. We put up about 200 fliers in the area and had checked the pound every other day. We even put ads in the paper, but because of the economic times, some papers aren't published but every other day or longer. After using this service we only got 2 calls. The first one spotted a dog like ours but it turned out to be the wrong dog. The second call was from the person who had our dog. She did not actually get a call, but one of her neighbors did and called her to tell her about the call. We had not branched out with fliers yto their neigborhood yet. And without this service they might have never known. I recommended this service because it worked for us.

Tucker
Shetland Sheepdog
Robin G (Albany, NH)
Date Found: 10/09/09
I want to thank "Lostmydoggie.com" for helping me find my dog. My sister was the one that came across the website so I thank her too! I myself was out in the wilderness, looking for Tucker, so I had no way of getting my information out there except with pictures and posted signs. I received many phone calls with people asking about my dog being lost. Many were intrigued by the phone call because they had never received a call like that before. The animal control officer contacted me because of the influx of phone calls coming in to her about the dog. This has probably got to be the best way to get the message out to people that your dog is lost! Lessons learned from this, I didn't have my dog microchipped or have any identification on him. My dog got lost in the woods after chasing a chipmunk. Don't ever tell yourself "It could never happen to me" because it can! Dogs depend on us for food, shelter, and protection, and when they are lost- they lose that from us. Robin

FLuffy
Domestic Short Hair
Judy P (Bonney Lake, WA)
Date Found: 10/11/09
This service is the best thing ever! Within an hour of posting my lost cat, I got a phone call from someone who had seen one matching my cats' description. It wasn't him, but there is no way I could have gotten the word out to so many people within the range that he could be. The message was succinct but contained all the data. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has lost a pet.

Lucy
Flat-Coated Retriever
Lisa M (Sykesville, MD)
Date Found: 09/23/09
I wasn't sure if this would work, I am a National Transport Coordinator for Rescued Animals helping them get out of Shelters to Rescues/Asopters and foster homes. So I was skeptical. I asked the Temp Foster in MD where Lucy was staying to ask her neighbors if they got a call about Lucy and she the temp mom said that she didn't have to ask that while she was out the night Lucy was lost she saw some people out and asked one woman if she saw Lucy. The lady had said no that since she received the phone call about Lucy missing she had been keeping an eye out for her. So yes I guess this does work. This did help find Lucy as she stuck by the home and came back on her home with the use of a live trap and food, but I am sure that it would have helped as she was spotted by people in the area so we knew she was there Cheryl Roads of Hope Animal Rescue Transport http://www.roadsofhope.org

Precious & Spirit
Pug
Paul S (New Port Richey, FL)
Date Found: 08/06/09
It was a Sunday afternoon and our Pugle and Bogle ran out of the back door as one of the children did not shut it all the way. It has happened from time to time and we live in a gated community of about 100 houses, fortunately, we have always found the dogs within minutes of them escaping on their adventure. However, this time, we did not and it was raining. My fiance' and mother were leaving to meet our priest for a blessing before our wedding and we had the babysitter and the children go on a rescue mission with a few neighbors and after several hours, they were unable to find our dogs. The next day, we put up posters, informed all the neighbors, went driving around for hours and contacted all the local pounds. No luck. Being a business owner and doing a great deal of internet marketing, I went to the internet and found a great resource in www.lostmydoggie.com I carefully read all of their pages and for their FAQ's and testimonials most helpful. I did some further research and thought it was worth the small investment to try and find Spirit and Precious...I completed everything online and with in a few minutes I received a call back from the company. They verified some information and said they would have the message sent out within in hour...It was around 6pm est and sure enough around 7pm, I received the seeded voicemail message. It only took about 90 minutes and I answered a call from a gentleman who saw a poster on a telephone poll a mile from my neighborhood saying someone found two dogs! I contacted them and was told the bad news and the good news. The bad news was, one of the children from their neighborhood tried to claim our dogs as their own and while they attempted to remove them from the cages they were keeping our dogs in, our Pugle tried to run away and was run over by a Van, who hit and ran from the incident. We were fortunate enough to find our Bogle alive and well I wished I would have found the service sooner. I would highly reccomend www.lostmydoggie.com to anyone who has lost their pet.... Thanks for your professional assistance and for following-up with me to ensure a positive outcome as well! Best Regards, Paul J. Simino President & CEO www.onesimpleloan.com

Reggie
Rat Terrier
Brooke B (Metairie, LA)
Date Found: 09/16/09
The puppy I am fostering from the local animal shelter somehow got out of our gate on Monday afternoon (9/14). I was especially worried because he is so quick and has no concept of moving vehicles. Plus, he is not familiar with my neighborhood. He is very special being that he was not surrendered once, but twice to the shelter in his young age of 11 mos. He also was diagnosed with an advanced case of Coccidia, an intestinal parasite, and he required medications. We posted fliers, called the shelter, sent mail outs to veterninary clinics, but I assumed someone scooped him up and kept him since he is so adorable and sweet. I was losing hope as day 2 passed. As a last effort attempt, I contacted "LostMyDoggie.com" and in less than an hour, the phone calls poured in. Some extending support, others letting me know they would be on the lookout. Then the call came that said that he was found. But that he was returned to his former owners who had surrendered him to the shelter (his microchip matched the former owner's address). We called the owners but their phone was disconnected. We took the ride to the address provided to us by the neighbors who found him and returned him to the former owners (about 10 miles away) and by golly, they had him!!!! The man told us he was going to bring him back tomorrow. But that doesn't matter. I have him back now. And it's because of this service. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! -Brooke (New Orleans, LA)

Tigger
Domestic Long Hair
Michelle Y (San Diego, CA)
Date Lost: 08/11/2009
This is the one resource that found my cat. It truly created an extended neighborhood watch for our beloved member of the family. This service provided a sense of comfort with many people calling to let us know that they had either seen Tigger or would keep an eye out for him. I truly thank lostmydoggie.com and my great neighbors for the successful return of Tigger.

Macy
Whippet
Keith D (West Melbourne, FL)
Date Found: 09/09/09
My dog Macy was missing for 3 days before being found 3 miles away from her home relaxing in a field in the middle of a parking lot of a major corporate campus. We are so happy to have her back home safe and sound! If you have lost a dog, my advice is to utilize all the resources available to you in your search. We posted flyers around our neighborhood, an ad in a local lost pet website, an ad on our regional craigslist, and had lostmydoggie.com issue an alert to 2,000 neighbors. We also hand delivered flyers to as many neighbors as we could, especially those out walking their own pets and those in leadership positions at nearby businesses. In the end, we received several tips from these different efforts, including 2 tips that lead us directly to her location!

Samson
Labrador Retriever
Keegan C (Rio Rancho, NM)
Date Lost: 08/21/2009
The service was amazing... After having requested the broadcast, my husband and I went out to post signs and call for the dog. As we spoke to persons walking down the street, we realized that they already knew about Samson, they kept saying, " OH, YEAH! We got the phone call! We will keep our eyes open for him...". To our surprise, almost every person in our neighborhood had received the message and was aware of our loss. Finally, a very nice lady called me and told me that she did not have my dog, however, she had received the message and knew who did have our dog. The networking that took place was incredible. We live in a tight community of about 3,000 homes. Samson was found about 3 miles from within 24 hours of the broadcast. The persons who found him, had tied him up in their back yard for safety reasons. We would have never found him, if the message had not been sent out. Lastly, we made a report out at the pound and so did the lady who found my dog; unbelievably, the pound kept telling us that no one had called to report a found dog. SHAME ON YOU, RIO RANCHO, New Mexico ANIMAL CONTROL! We are so thankful to Lostmydoggie.com. My dog is back home with us, happy and safe.

Oh my gosh what a great service! My dad was baby sitting my sisters dog when he jump the fence after being outside for just 5 minutes. I hesitated to use this service not thinking anyone would respond, but within an hour of the phone calls going out (I did the 2,000 phone call package), Oscar was found! My whole family is so grateful for this service!! Next time (and I hope there won't be a next time), I will use this service right away!!
