This Happy Ending really captures what I am trying to accomplish with this site. I am trying to make it as simple as possible for people to help; because people do want to help. The eleven year old spots the dog ; searches on line, sees a photo and calls the owner. LOSTADOG.com Sugar Land Texas UPDATE 11-15-11: A sweet 11 year-old girl called me on November 2nd and told me that
she found my dog. I grabbed my purse and drove to their house
immediately. When I got there the mother of the 11 year-old said that
Oliver had come around the house for a few days, and they were feeding
him and giving him a place to sleep. The 11 year-old girl decided to
look online to see if anyone had posted anything about a missing dog,
and of course when she typed " LOST DOG " into the search bar, the first
thing that popped up was the ad about Oliver on LOSTADOG.com and they called me as soon as they saw it. Being reunited with my dog was the greatest feeling in the entire world! He is home, completely unharmed and happy as could be! Without LOSTADOG.com I don't think Oliver would have ever been returned because he had ended up so far away that no one in that neighborhood would have seen the hundreds of flyers I posted everywhere in the area where I live.
Once again thanks Tom. ORIGINALLY POSTED 10-11-11 LOSTADOG.com Sugar Land Texas.

LOSTADOG.com Denton Texas: Joe!!!! We found our dog. Thanks to your website UPDATE 10-9-11 : Joe!!!! We found our dog. Thanks to your website... it's funny, it wasn't the picture I posted of etta, it was a picture of a dog that looked a lot like her of a found dog posted in the Denton, Tx area in January 2011 ( posted to FOUNDADOG.com ) I called on that post and it just so happened that the girl who found our dog had also called based on that photograph found on your website. She ended up being 2 hours away in Jackboro,Tx at a dog rescue place for abused and abandoned dogs of all places!! She made it there in only 3 days... Long story short, we got her back yesterday!!! All is well now, she is home and resting from her crazy adventures of last week. But I just wanted to sincerely thank you for having this website. You reconnected a very loving family with their baby girl!!! Much love to you and may the good luck we've had come back on you 10 fold!!!

Posted Date: 4-15-11 : I truly appreciate your quick response to help us get this pup home to his family. I registered with so many unresponsive sites, so I know which one I will recommend to friends who lose pets. Please update the posting to let everyone know that Brownie is home now.
Thank you so much for posting the Pug we found in Folsom a couple of days ago. After a day of detective work I located his owner. I took him to the vet today to have him scanned for a chip. He did indeed have one, but the owners never registered the dog. Avid was kind enough to give me the name of the vet who inserted the chip and they researched their files to track down the owner. The vets office contacted them and gave them my info. His name is Brownie, and he had been missing six days. He was several miles from home and three kids were very happy to see him this afternoon.
For the love of animals,
Mary Anne B

FOUNDADOG.com Atlanta Georgia. They got him back, thanks to your site!
Posted Date 4/9/10 about 5:00 p.m. Found playing in traffic at Virginia Ave &
N. Highlands Ave. Freshly groomed, responds to commands, neutered male. Found Shih Tzu
Atlanta
Georgia, Zip Code 30306. Found this lost dog in Fulton county Georgia. UPDATE 4/9/10 ABOUT
10:00 p.m. Well, my friend actually found the dog wandering in a busy street at around
noon. She already has 2 dogs and didn't want to introduce a 3rd , so she called me for
advice. She wanted to take him to an adoption shelter, but I told her to bring him by my
place so we could figure out what to do with him. I took him to a local vet to be scanned
for a microchip, but he didn't have one, so we drove by a local pet supply store to see if
anyone recognized him. He was recently groomed and responded to commands, so I knew
someone really missed him! When we got home, I got online and started posting notices on
various local groomers' facebook pages, and on your website. Around 7pm, I took him out
for a walk and when I got back, I had a voicemail that said " I think you have our
rambunctious little dog"! I called the man back, and just to be sure, asked what collar
his collar was. He knew it was green. He told me the dog's name is Hobbes. The dog
responded to his name, so I told the man I'd bring his dog to him. It turned out, he'd had
contractors in the house and both of his dogs had escaped. He had posted posters in the
neighborhood and then decided to check online, where he found your site and my posting! It
was a very happy ending to a long day of searching. Though my boss might not agree, I
definitely accomplished something today!

UPDATE 6-15-08 THIS DOG IS HOME. Joe,
Please post to your Happy Endings site so more people know of the great work you do:
Dear Joe,
Just a quick not to say thank you for helping us through a tough weekend while our dog Ballou was missing. As you know, Ballou suffered a first-time epileptic-like seizure in our backyard last Wednesday. While coming out of it he was disoriented, panicked and went through our fence. He was missing for 4 days with absolutely no leads, and we were worried sick for his health and safety. After talking to you Saturday evening and trying your suggestion of leaving his bedding near a possible sighting location, he was home...in less than 12-hours! A Happy Father's Day reunion for all. I wish I had heard about you and contacted you sooner. I will be sure to pass along the wonderful work you do in helping distraught pet owners reunite with their lost pets. Thanks again for your suggestions and most of all, for listening. It is appreciated more than you know!
Attached is a picture of Ballou happily reunited with our dog Guinness...safe and home again.
Thanks again and have a TERRIFIC day!
Cathi San Antonio, TX

Posted Date: 6-10-06 : Joe, I just sent you an email saying the 2 labs have been found. The owner found your site tonight and just left with his 2 labs. I'm just as happy them leaving as he is finding them. They were a handful and left a few holes in the yard, but it was worth it all to see everyone including the dogs so happy. And I get my yard back. Thank you for your site and all you do to maintain it. God bless you, Carol.

Good news! Macy was found at Rock Creek - a division of Riata Complex and given to the local dog walker. She was returned to me last night. She is healthy, safe and sound. Thank you so much for your website. It is because of lostadog.com that she was returned to me. A friend of the person watching her saw Macy and found her on the site. We are happy to have our family whole again. Thank you sincerely.

Posted Date: 4-21-06 : Dear Joe,
I wanted to tell you the news that our dog was found
and returned to us safely. Kathy and her family found
the dog and then discovered the picture and phone number on LOSTADOG.com
and called me. When I met with Kathy today
she said to me "I was glad to see the picture on LOSTADOG.com ,
as when I saw the picture I knew it was your dog."
We were reunited today (4/21) with the
help of your website and the kindness of strangers.
All the best,
Darcy

Posted Date: 4-13-06 : Joe:
Thanks to your website, Queen was recovered yesterday.
A lady had found her in Anderson Mill by the El
Salido pool. She took her in and had checked the your
website on Saturday, but nothing had been posted yet.
(We had not gotten that far yet). She posted signs,
but we had not connected. Her son's girlfriend found and
identified her yesterday morning on your website, and
I picked her up at 12:00 noon from her son. They took
great care of her and would not take any money for her
food or anything. The mother had taken her to some
clinic to be scanned, but she didn't have the
microchip. As of 2:00 pm yesterday, Queen is now
microchipped. As many have suggested,
staying calm and following the tips on websites
worked. Thank you again for your assistance.
Sue and Kendra

Posted Date: 3-1-06 : dear Joe,
I contacted lostadog about my lost dog, Lulu. She was lost on 2/18. Tonight 2/27 I received a phone call asking if I had lost a dog and was it posted on lostadog. It was Lulu! The couple had moved in a week ago a few blocks from here and had two dogs, one a larger version of Lulu. The neighbors had put her in their back yard thinking it was their dog. She was housed and fed, playing with the other dogs and sleeping with Kate, her rescuer. Now she is back home thanks to lostadog!

Posted Date: 05-15-05 Dear Joe: Thanks to the fine work ya'll do, we have our baby girl back. It's the ad that reads "answers to "ratdog " or "baby girl". The people who found her were kind enough to drive her back to us all the way from San Marcos, and it was your service that put them in touch with us. Again, our most heartfelt thanks on the wonderful work you do! The details: It's actually a very poignant story. After Babygirl escaped, we really had no idea how to go about finding her, so Katherine suggested we Google the terms "lost dog" and "Austin". The first item to come back was your site www.FOUNDADOG.com. It turned out that she was rescued from a very busy street near our house by a college student who was taking classes here in Austin, though she was actually registered, (and lived), in San Marcos, which was over fifty miles away. She had to go back home, so she didn't have time to stop by the local animal shelter. Once home, she first took Babygirl to a vet, who verified she was both in excellent health, and at least ten years old. It was her age that persuaded this good samaritan that Babygirl came from a loving home, at which point she had the idea to Google exactly the same terms that we did, by which time I had the chance to get the ad, (complete with picture), onto your site. Don't you just love seeing a plan come together? Thanks again! Sincerely, Tom G and Katherine G
