A HAPPY TAIL!
 REUNITED 

"I got a call from the owner this morning, having seen one of our signs, and he’ll be picking up his dog from the [local animal clinic] this afternoon.  He was terribly excited and very, very thankful.  You know, the [local animal clinic] is really kind to take in these stray animals so they don’t end up at animal control.  They are doing a GREAT community service keeping and boarding these strays for free.  I tried to keep this one at home, but he and my own big male didn’t hit it off too well, so I had to take him to the vet’s office after a day.  I am so impressed and thankful to them.  It’s a good thing for people to know they can now help a stray when they don’t necessarily have the facilities at home to keep them.  I also think what you are doing with this site is terrific and I wish more people were aware of it.  I think you deserve lots of free advertising in the Villager!" - Chris Posey

We would also like to extend a BIG thank you to this local vet for their compassion and generousity for these lost pets!

"On Sunday evening after getting home from a full day away from home, I found nine calls on my voice mail. The owner of the black male retriever/mix dog found the signs we posted four days before at the entry to our neighborhood.  Each message she left was more and more frantic until the last message she left she was crying out of fear we took her dog to animal control. I called her right back and assured her that he was well taken care of at [local animal clinic].  I called [local animal clinic] today to make sure the union was successful. They informed me the owner was so happy she just cried.  Thanks to mypetretriever.com for all the encouragement and ideas to keep the message out there. Hopefully there will be more success stories as your site becomes more recognized. Best wishes" - Jan Johnston
