Good News Stories

At DogLost, there is nothing we like more than news of pets being reunited with their loving owners! Here are a few emails we have received that warmed our hearts.

Isaac returned, safe and sound

This is a thank you note to whomever runs doglost.com.au.

This morning we woke up to find one of our two dogs had dug under the wire fence and escaped from our property! We searched the neighbourhood for three hours, only coming home to print lost dog notices. On a whim, we googled "lost dog" and saw your website. We registered Isaac as lost and about 2 hours later we received a call from a family who had found him. It turned out that he had snuck out and was nearly hit by a car at 3am in the morning! Fortunately someone ran out in front of the car and stopped it. They then knocked on the door of the house outside which Isaac had nearly been hit and these amazing people took him in for the morning..

Once I registered Isaac at 10 am this morning, they found the listing and were able to return him to us. Thank you very much for your incredible website.

A thank you from Palestine!

To whom it concerns at Redland Bay dog pound,
 
My name is Penny Connley,  and I am currently working overseas with the Red Cross. My beautiful 10 year old borer collie, River, lives with my daughter and her partner in Brisbane. Today, it appears he went for a 'walk' by himself... the first of a run of errors that led him into your hands. (He didnt have his collar on with his ID tag, he is not registered (he will be, promise!) as we have moved alot, he was taken to a new environment, and he has started to show odd little forgetful changes in his behaviour of recent weeks).
 
So bottom line, I wish to pass on my sincere thanks to you, and the fact that he found himself in your hands. As a result he is now home, tucked up in his bed. I am not sure if someone picked him up and delivered him to you, but if so, it would also be great if I could pass my thanks onto them.
 
Right now I am counting the days until I can be home, doing the simple but most rewarding things in life... like walking River!
 
My kind regards to you all from Palestine,
 
Penny

A Good News Story!

This is just a little note to say a big thank you for your website.

While my mother was in hospital and her neighbour was feeding her dogs, her dog 'Celia' went missing.

Thanks to your website, the kind people at the RSPCA saw her photo and rang us to say they had a possible match. We collected her on Australia Day weekend and all's well that ends well.

Once again, THANK YOU!

More Good News

Thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts.  When we left our 3 mth old golden retriever puppy at home for 3 hours yesterday we were absolutely horrified to return to find that somehow he had got out of the fenced off property and gone for an adventure.   After searching for him we put a listing up on doglost.com.au, within about 30 minutes we had him back with us.  We were amazed at how brilliant the site was, it is and excellent tool for those working in the industy and for pet owners who in their time of worry need a contact or website that they know can have fabulous results.

Again, thank you so much to who ever it was that had our little man and that returned him after caring for him for the hours he was away from home.

I am happy to be contacted if you want to use ours as a success story - we really are just so so over the moon… and… we currently have builders trying to find where and how he got out to start with.

Thanks so much again.

Sam and Cleo found! Our sincere thanks to a mystery helper.

I added my missing dogs last night (Monday 5/5/2008) and within an hour got a phone call from a very caring lady from, what we call here in Perth, "South of the River".

The lady advised us to look at the two "Pound" sites as she matched our description on your site with the dogs described there.

She also gave us lots of other very useful information and she insisted that we should have a personal look at the pounds every day as contacting the authorities by phone didn't work in her opinion.

I am very delighted to report that we found our dogs at the RSPCA pound, one of the sites she directed us to and also that she is oh so correct in informing us to do it personally as we rang the respective rangers and RSPCA and the people manning the phones were very sure that no dogs were picked up (dead or alive) or brought in. The fact was that the dogs were impounded the day they disappeared, which was the day before we rang them.

Unfortunately we do not have her name or contact details and were wondering if you could help with that as she rang this morning again asking us if we could ring her about the outcome to set her mind at ease.

I also tried to place a "Found Dogs" entry, I hope you don't mind, in the hope that she will read that and contact us again!
