Help Bring Bud Home

It’s more than just saving a life. It’s bringing them home. It’s making a family complete again. It’s reuniting one of life’s greatest loves. Dogs are more than family. They’re our heart & soul’s.

Please check them for chips 🙏🏼 - use proper protocol to scan the entire dog or cats body using a Universal scanner.

Check multiple times using different scanners just to be 💯 sure

Check TWICE to save a life.

Wondering. Waiting. Checking.

Contacting the chip company to check.

Where is Bud????

WHY hasn’t his chip been scanned?

If you found him & only realized he belonged to someone after you’ve been caring for him but don’t know how to return him know to love a dog is a great privilege. But to be loved by a dog is even a greater blessing.

Bud was my blessing. And I adored him. He wasn’t just a dog. He was my child. My everything.

If you have him, please find it in your heart to return him.

Drop him off to get scanned at any vet or police station. Call me directly. No questions asked.

This! Scan them twice!

Check TWICE to save a life.

Too many dogs that are go missing for years. Some are still missing: My Bud, Bring Lukas Home BRING OTTO HOME Help Find Dutch - Lost Husky, Find Minnie! Lookin for Luca Bring the Pup Home

SO, Why aren’t people checking for microchips?

It’s a simple step that should be taken if you find a dog

How does someone have a dog in their possession for several years & the chip go undetected? Are they not giving them proper care? Taking them to the vet?

And if they have taken them to a why aren’t these dogs scanned at checkups?

After more than 2 years missing, Pezkoi is finally home!

Pezkoi went missing from on 3/22/24, and his family never stopped hoping he would be found.

Yesterday they received the call they had waited years for.
Kankakee County Animal Control found Pezkoi wandering the streets in Bourbonnais and brought him safely in. When they scanned for a microchip, everything changed. It led directly back to his family.

From his family:
"Yes I am so thankful for not giving up. He was found wandering the streets of Bourbonnais, IL and animal control took him in and scanned for a chip. We got a call yesterday saying they had Pezkoi. We first thought it was another spam..., but no, this was the real deal. Finally he is back at home, tired but so happy."

This is what hope looks like after more than 2 years:

• Never giving up matters
• Microchips work and truly bring pets home
• Even after a long time, reunions are still possible

Welcome home Pezkoi!

Reunion video will be attached in the comments.

Not only found in another state.

But another Chicago dog found in the state of

I’m not sure how many now but since Bud went missing there have been several Chicago dogs that have gone missing end up in Texas.

All were microchipped.

Found in another State 2 years later!

Laika went missing from her family and her dog sibling two years ago in Louisiana. Today, Microchip Hunters is so proud to have played a part of this reunion. Microchips can bring dogs home when you least expect it.

A Good Samaritan, Luis, found this sweet girl in Texas. While she appeared well-fed, she was very dirty, and he knew she had to belong to someone. After posting in various social media groups, he was directed to Microchip Hunters when the microchip alone didn’t lead him to her family.

Microchip Hunter Ann attempted to call the number listed on the chip and reached a voicemail in Spanish. That’s when fellow volunteer Carmen stepped in to help translate and make contact. When the family answered, they were in disbelief that she was in Texas. Laika had been missing for two years. She had run off with their other dog, who eventually returned home but Laika never did. Despite being microchipped, they never received any notification that she had been found.

Eager to bring her home, the family offered to drive a few hours and asked for help coordinating the rest. Microchip Hunters reached out to rescue partners, and Rachel J. quickly stepped in. Through Rescueber, she was able to assist from the Texas/Louisiana border and already had plans to be in Louisiana within days. Her friend Leah also helped take her overnight!

Meanwhile, Luis had grown attached to Laika but was unable to keep her long-term. Cindy H. graciously offered to foster Laika until transport could be arranged. Then, Marilyn from Lost Dogs of Texas put out a call for help with the first leg of the journey, and Celia answered without hesitation.

With every piece falling into place, the transport plan came together beautifully. Each person followed through, and late this morning, Laika was finally reunited with her family.

Welcome home, Laika. What a joyful day for everyone involved.

Reunions like this are only possible because of the kindness and compassion of so many people. Thank you to every single person who played a part in bringing Laika home.

Laika loved Luis and when he went to visit her to say goodbye, she wanted to go with him. Dogs truly love their people. She was confused but is happy to be home!

Another dog going home!

These stories are difficult to read but we're so thankful she & her puppies were saved.

Held hostage in a crate, in a dirty basement & used as a breeding machine.

How do people do this?

How do you steal a family member?

How do you treat them like they are material objects without feelings?

Locked in crates.
No blankets. Only hard concrete floors.

Only for profit. Not an once of love or caring.

Meanwhile, family's like this one, like us & all the others go wondering what happened to their beloved dog. The family's that treated them like FAMILY.

Just how?

Remember Ramen? Her, her nine puppies, and nine adult dogs arrived at our facility from one house earlier this month. After that post went out, we were contacted by someone who provided irrefutable proof that Ramen was her dog that had been missing since April of last year. Ramen remained in foster care with her nine puppies, nursing them until they were old enough to eat on their own. Then the beautiful reunion happened, and Ramen is back with her family. Ramen is actually named Nova, and she’s incredibly happy to be back with her people ❤.
