Good news for this pretty boy, who was taken in by Sabrina, who had mistaken him for her cat Finnigan. She has had him vaccinated, neuteured, and treated for any parasites as well as tested for FIV and FeLV. Now, she has found him a good home with a friend. (Thanks to Isabelle for the update.) Let’s hope karma brings home Finnigan, who’s greatly missed and still being looked for!

Rocket

Rocket, who was missing since December 11th, spent all this time stuck in a neighbour’s garage! The most amazing thing was that the neighbours knew he was there, but didn’t do much about it all this time, despite there being posters, and despite a flier in their mailbox, and him having a collar and tags. It was thanks to the posters that he’s finally home now. He’s quite a bit skinnier, but already asking to go out again, which I’ve been assured won’t happen any time soon! Welcome home Rocket!

I’ve joined facebook in order to help enlarge the Petluck network and publicize the lost pets. The resource is there so why not use it!

To make things easier I’ve added a link to the original post on each of the sidebar thumbnails. Now if you click through the slideshow and are looking for details they’ll be easier to find. All the animals presently listed as lost or found on the blog can be found there. (When they’re reunited they’re removed to give priority to the still missing.)

I’ve added a new link on the side. Part of my morning routine, after I’ve fed my pets, is to go to this site and feed the shelter animals. It costs nothing and the cumulative effect is amazing. Between July and December of 2008 they raised 33.5 million bowls of food just from visitors clicking on their site. That’s on top of the 6.3 million from purchases.

You can also go there from here :

The Animal Rescue Site

Just a note to mention that I’ve added a few new links to some rescues that visitors might not be familiar with. They don’t have lost and found listings necessarily, although on occasion they might put up a courtesy listing, and they are good to know about as often people who find lost animals will contact them.

I’m hoping to provide a good tool for reuniting lost and found pets with their owners. Send me your information on the pet you’ve lost or found with a picture if possible and any details and I’ll publish it here. I’ll need of course the closest address to place it on the map. (If possible, a postal code works really well!) You can send your info to petluckblog[at] gmail[dot] com.

I also wanted to provide information on useful links where you might also think about listing. As well as putting up posters and checking shelters there are many places to list and not everyone’s familiar with them all. Please feel free to send me any useful links that I might miss. You’ll find them on the tips and links page. I’m hoping that the site will stay as up to date as possible, and that even when you’re posters are down and listings dropped down further on the classifieds sites, your pet will stay on the map till you’re hopefully reunited.
