Woman’s Lost Dog Given Away for Christmas

Published on | No Comments

A woman lost her pet Siberian Husky only to find out the dog had already been adopted by another family.

Lisa Landes says her 3-year-old dog Koda escaped from the back yard while she was at work December 17. She posted flyers around the neighborhood and called local veterinarians.

After a few days passed, she found out one of her neighbors found the dog on the 17th and took him to the Houston SPCA shelter. However, when she contacted the shelter, she found out her dog had already been adopted by another family.

“I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,'” Landes said, “I need him back. I was just devastated.” […]

New family adopts lost cat from Humane Society, but original owners want pet back

Published on | No Comments

Tyson the one-time lost cat is probably warm and cozy right now in his new home. He may even have a new name.

But his previous owners, an Offutt Air Force Base couple, want him back at their place, insisting that the lost kitty should not have been put up for adoption by the Nebraska Humane Society.

“He’s a member of our family,’’ said Marissa Starr, 23, an airman first class. “He’s irreplaceable.’’

Tyson disappeared from the Starrs’ Bellevue home Nov. 21. Later, he turned up at the Humane Society facility at 90th and Fort Streets in northwest Omaha.

Pam Wiese of the Nebraska Humane Society said the cat was at the facility for 21 days before his adoption. It had been in a kennel for strays or lost cats for three days, then assessed, given an ID microchip, treated for a respiratory problem and finally moved into an adoptable kennel, she said.

A shot before and after Coco the pit bull was rescued

We believe it was an act of deception,” Riverside County Field & Shelter Deputy Director Frank Corvino said in the release. “The dye job is not very good. But it would work if someone’s looking for their missing, reddish-brown dog.”

Animal Services spokesman John Welsh said the dog should be fine and not suffer any long-term consequences from the dye job.

Lowry said it is important to make sure pet dogs are implanted with a microchip.

Missing Dog From Holland Found In Texas

A missing dog that was last seen by its owner in the Netherlands, was discovered living in Texas. The adorable black German shepherd mix disappeared from her Holland home, leaving her original owner to wonder whether she would ever see the pup again.

It all started when a teen named Linda Pool got the puppy in 2011, according to Houston Chronicle. She named the mixed breed Amy. Although the girl loved her pet very much, she was forced to give the animal to a breeder due to circumstances beyond her control. While Pool was looking for a good permanent home for the pooch, the breeder reportedly sold it to persons unknown. The teen was devastated.

In October, 2014, a college student named Katy noticed an emaciated stray dog wandering beside a highway in Houston, Texas. Katy collected the dog from Interstate-10 and transported it to a local veterinarian’s office. Shockingly, a microchip implanted in the dog revealed that its owner lived 5,000 miles away.

A dog rescued from an icy, half-frozen creek was adopted Friday.

River, as he’s now being called, was spotted in a gulch at Bible Park earlier this month. His back end was stuck in the nearly frozen creek and he couldn’t move or get out of the water.

The Dumb Friends League said a passerby named Bob and two other people who happened to be at the park went into the frozen creek to rescue River. They got the dog out of the creek, wrapped him in a blanket and carried the 80-pound dog to Bob’s car. Bob took the dog to the Dumb Friends League. […]

Cat Named Lily Found with Phone Alert in Saginaw, MI 48603

I finally have my cat, Marley, back as of early this morning. Everyone was trying to get him with no success. I set up a live catch trap at a lady's house that saw one of your flyers. Actually she started chasing a piece of paper with you info, called you and got my phone number. At 5AM I got a call that my cat was in the trap. I took him in the trap to the animal ER and his microchip matched. It was dark so I could not see him until he was in the light. I took him to his vet when they opened and he tested negative for any bad things. I came home and plugged in the Christmas Tree this morning. I HAVE MY CHRISTMAS MIRACLE AFTER 4 MONTHS THANKS TO YOU! YOU ARE AWESOME!

Dog Named Charlie Found with Phone Alert in Audubon, PA 19407

Thanks to your Neighbor Phone Alert System we received a call about our cat "hanging out" near a bird feeder in the neighborhood we didn't expect him to wander off to. We strongly believe your service is priceless and we encourage everyone to use it as soon as one realizes the pet is missing! I wish I did that the minute Pepe went missing. We might have found him even sooner. I sincerely hope I will never have to use it again, but if so I will do it in a heartbeat and will recommend it to any friends in need. Many thanks!!!
