Mission Reunite

28/02/2024

CYMI, the second part starts at 9 a.m. this morning. Please (free!) register at the imbedded link to join in. If you can't tune in that's ok, you will be emailed a recording link in the next couple of days. By working together we can all help reunite pets with their owners. Let's get them home!
"Show Us What Found Feels Like: Join Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge in making 2024 the year we amplify What Found Feels Like and celebrate animals going home in the shelter and community. It’s the year we shine a light on the bright spots and Return-to-Home solutions you’re advancing, starting with the February 21 and 28. Every dog and cat returned home counts—and for the people who’ve been missing them, the impact is immeasurable!
Dogs reunited with their families from a block away or more than a thousand miles. Cats returning to the porches, neighborhood hangouts, caregivers and communities they know and love. For animals and their people, the Right Place feels right. Going home again is something to celebrate, and so are the people who help make it happen at the shelter and in the community.
But right now, more than half of animals are entering shelters as “stray,” and only one of them will go home. Together—from frontline staff and volunteers to shelter leaders and community members—we can change that stat.
By getting just 20% more stray dogs back home, we have the power to end unnecessary shelter euthanasia and find homes for every dog who really needs one."

Join Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge in making 2024 the year we amplify What Found Feels Like and celebrate animals going home in the shelter and community. Submit your photos, videos and stories of dogs and cats heading back to the people, places, and animal pals they know and love by February 2...

Tebow was missing for 9 years! He’s home now, thanks to a microchip and the dedication of the Lake City Humane Society! 💜 Reminder to never give up on a lost pet, and to keep those microchips updated with current contact info.

Corbin! Reunited! Please don’t ever give up on a missing pet, and keep their microchips updated with your current info. If you suddenly see a new pet around your property snap a pic, ask and share with your neighborhood to find out where the pet lives. It’s good to know our neighbors including their pets.

A Nova Scotia family has been reunited with their beloved cat who went missing two years ago in another province.

Absolutely! If you come across a wandering dog, snap a great photo of them, note the nearest address and cross streets, stop and ask a neighbor for assistance. Perhaps they can ‘hold’ the dog on their property (or ask another local) to help. Most pets aren’t too far from their home. Contact the local police, sheriff, and County, for the nearest shelter to file a Found pet report.

Many families will be traveling this weekend. If you find a lost dog passing through a town, please do NOT transport the dog out of the area
