The Animal Trust Foundation is a foundation that helps animals find their forever home (or return to their warm comfy home). For people who live in the San Diego county, the foundation has a way of helping owners be reunited with their beloved pets: FREE ID tags. You can get up to 3 per household. The Animal Trust Foundation is a tax deductible non-profit organization. If you want to donate to them, there contact information is here: Contact Information.
ID tags are a quick and painless way for animals to be associated with an owner and the owner can be notified that someone has their family member.
Mommy has picked up a few dogs in the past that were just roaming the neighborhood. Luckily, all the dogs had tags, and all the owners got the message that she left. They all were happily greeted by their mommy or daddy and went back to their warm home. In all instances, no one knew that their pup had escaped.
One gentleman came home and didn't see his fluffy white dog, but did see a message on his answering machine. When he checked it, he heard that mommy had picked up his big fluffy dog on the way to taking me to the vet, and she had his dog. The big white doggy loved car rides. We were both happy with our tongues sticking out, bouncing along to the vet (the road near the vet's is very bumpy, the road takes forever to get fixed). Mommy had the vet check for a microchip, but no microchip. The fluffy dog's tag was faded, but luckily mommy was able to barely make out the phone number to call (I think she called the wrong number the first time). The big white doggy's owner came to our house that evening to pick the doggy up and boy was she happy to see him. Apparently, the gardener accidentally let her out of the yard in the morning, and she was wandering outside for a while with no water (plus it was a warm day). Mommy stopped to give her some water and while she was drinking, mommy was looking around for someone, but no one was around (so mommy opened the car door and let her hop in). The gentleman wanted to give mommy something, but mommy refused to take it. Mommy was just very happy to see someone come pick her up. Mommy even sent her home with a bag of treats that the doggy really liked. Lesson to this story: tag your pets! It's way cheaper than microchipping, and you don't need a special reader to see the information.
Tokyo, you have a bunch of friends in SD, can you help me spread the word, please?
