Depending on where and when you got your pet, he or she may have a microchip and you might not even know it or have the corresponding information uploaded to the internet yet. We got our dog from Galveston County Animal Shelter, and a microchip was already in her. All I needed to do was take the number from the adoption papers and enter it into the web database administered by the referenced service. That happened to be Home Again, which is one of the two major American chip companies, the other being AVID (according to Wikipedia).
A week or two ago a dog named Molly went missing from Centerpointe Section 9. Molly escaped while construction was ongoing at her owner's residence. She has reportedly been spotted at various locations around League City, but nobody has gotten hold of her yet. The fact that Molly's APB was recently blasted to all of the local Home Again subscribers will help her chances of a safe return.
I am reminded of this service yet again as I just got yet another email blast, this time for a chocolate Labrador Retriever named Sunny who is missing from a location near the corner of Meadow Lark Lane and League City Parkway, which puts his point of origin about one thousand feet south of Centerpointe Section 9. Let's hope he gets home safely.
