Finding Gizmo

To my surprise, he belonged to their neighbor! Because he knew them, the little Dachshund allowed them to scoop him up, too!

Only a half hour earlier, both dogs were lost and now they were happily headed back home to have their evening kibble with relieved owners - all because one of them wore an ID tag!

Lost pets with a collar and tags, a tattoo, or microchip placed by a veterinarian are almost always returned to their owner quickly. Lost pets with no ID are at risk of not being returned to their owner. Please keep your pet safe. Make sure he wears ID at all times.

If you lose your pet, be sure to search your property carefully, even the unlikely places. Check with all pet shelters and veterinary clinics in your area every day, place a lost ad in the newspaper, watch found ads, and check with neighbors.

If you see a lost pet, do not approach it yourself. Not all pets are friendly to strangers. Find an adult you trust to help you.
