I have a great story for y'all, I apologize for the long post. Please share
We chip all our pups w AKC reunite just in case a pup was lost or stolen. We had our first instance of that system working.
A Duffington pup that is 3 yrs old went missing assumed stolen from the Brownsville area. We got a call from AKC saying he was checked in at Edgefield Animal Clinic, a vet clinic in Dallas, Tx. Roughly 500 miles the pup's home.
We called the animal clinic, and at first, they were extremely unhelpful and wouldn't cooperate with us at all. I mentioned that this is an expensive pup that has a rightful owner. He is effectively stolen property, and the owner would file a police report to recover his pup. They were rude, saying, " we would have to do what we had to do." Even after talking to a manager, they were not helpful. They must have rethought that because, about 10 minutes later, they then called us back and released the information.
We made contact with the current person who has the dog in Dallas, and he said he would be willing to reunite the pup with the rightful owner. Right now, we are waiting for that to play out. This is just a note to let y'all that chipping your pets is a great choice. Please like and share -
