Lost Dog Success Stories
Just wanted to say how great this web-site is! We had found a "lost dog" in our neighborhood who was so wonderful that we knew that somewhere a family was searching & hoping...we listed him in your data base...and a miracle happened! You sent an e-mail with contact information, we called ...they came...and Clancy went home to his family. We are thankful for his time with us-and thrilled that he is back home safe with his family. Thanks for providing pet lovers everywhere with an invaluable service. Teri & Dennis | |
AWESOME!!! At first we did not believe anyone would contact us through a website, because we live in a rather small town. A day later, we got an e-mail with contact information from the person who found our dog. I highly recommend this website to anyone who has a missing pet!!! Boom-Boom owners, Morgantown, WV | |
Fido Finder found our dog! He had run because of a frightening thunder storm. We spent hours driving the roads looking for him. Finally, I got on line to see if there was such a thing as a lost dog website. I found Fido Finder and looked at the lost dogs. To my amazement I saw a dog that had been posted that day matching my dogs description. I emailed the person and she got right back to me. We had our dog home within 1 hour of seeing him posted on Fido Finder! Thank you so much for your Thank you so much for your service. It made our family very happy! If I ever find a dog (or lose mine again) Fido Finder will be the first place I go. | |
I heard about your site thru my vet's office after my dog got loose on New Year's Eve and i posted her on Jan 2nd. The finder also posted her that day. We finally connected today and she is home safe....the finder even gave her a bath and nicknamed her "Tequila" in honor of New Year's! | |
You site performed a miracle for me last night! A woman who found Chloe found my posting on your sight. She lived 5 miles away from me and would have never seen my paper posters....Chloe and I were reunited!!! She is safe, sound and heathly. Thank you for having such a great site that bridges blessings like mine! Kathi | |

Fido Finder works! Thank you thank you a million times. We posted our dog Sinbad on your site and were called by the wonderful man who found our dog and kept him for us. The very next day. We were desperate and fearing we would never see him again after 3 days (someone else had tried to adopt him but he got away) It was a very tearful and joyful reunion. Calvin | |
Wow! I can't believe what a blessing your site has been! We had been searching for the owner of a dog that we had found in the park with no success. It had been over a week and we had put signs all over our neighborhood. Being that we had recently lost our dog and it was never returned, we thought it was really important that the dog be united with his owner. It was a beautiful brown German Shorthaired Pointer who was bubbling with energy and love. A co-worker mentioned the website and hours after I put the information up, saw there was a match, and e-mailed the potential owner - dog and owner were reunited!! They were so happy to see each other. It was great! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Stephanie Bowen | |
Fido Finder found my dog! My little schnauzer got out of the fence. After putting up posters, checking every vet and shelter, taking out ads in the newspaper, and searching desperately I thought she was gone for good. I had put her on Fido Finder, but did not think much about it. After two weeks had gone by I got an email from Fido Finder saying there was a match in my area. I called the lady who posted the found dog and she had my dog!!! Within 1 hour of her posting the found dog I had Abbie safe at home. THANK YOU Fido Finder!!!!! That old dog means the world to me. Your site really works. I have told everyone I know about it. Thank you, Laura Dade | |
Thank you soooo much for your site. Your site is the reason Sandy was found. Sandy was lost early morning on Friday July 14th, I added her to your site on Sunday July 16th, and she was found because of your site on Mon July 17th. Thank you again. She's at the vet getting some care, but she will be fine. All of my friends will know of this site, trust that..Thank you Diane God Bless |

I lost my white lab in December 2005. Since that time, I have posted flyers and ads in various locations trying to find him. The days and weeks and months passed with no word of his whereabouts. Evidently, someone had picked him up and kept him. About a week ago, he must have gotten away from those people, and someone else found him and placed an ad (#31816) on Fido Finder! We were reunited on 5/2/06 - nearly 5 months after he initially disappeared! Needless to say, I am absolutely beside myself and think Fido Finder is an awesome utility to help owners find their lost pets! Thank you so much for your service! Heather McGillem |

My brother's dog, Kudu got loose by accident on Saturday and we really didn't know where to begin to search for him. We put out flyers and went to the shelters, called vets - you name it. But today I decided to do a search for lost dogs, hoping there was something in the area. I went to Found Dogs and plugged in the zipcode. There was a listing which matched Kudu's description and it was posted the very next day. I knew it had to be him so I emailed the finder and got the phone call this afternoon. I emailed the finder a pic of Kudu to verify that my brother was the owner. I contacted my brother and said "I have a man on the phone with me who has Kudu." He couldn't believe it. Kudu is home safely now thanks to Fido Finder and the man who was kind enough to take him in and post on Fido Finder. LM | |
I would like to thank you for your help in being reunited with my dog. Without you, I doubt that I would ever have found her. I was fortunate that a dog lover was able to rescue her from a very busy intersection after she somehow got out of a locked, fenced yard. This wonderful woman went to Fidofinder and looked for lost dogs and there she found a description of mine. Your organization sent me an e-mail with her name and phone number and I was able to reclaim her last evening. Without this service to connect people who have lost dogs with people who have found dogs, I have no doubt that I would never have found out what happened to her. The woman and her husband who found her were wonderful and I so appreciate them. Thank you again for your help and service. Marianne Akers and Kassie |

I was gone for Thanksgiving, when I returned, I discovered my dog was missing. The next morning I looked for my dog on FidoFinder.com, and sure enough someone had found my dog!! A kind lady was taking care of her. Very happy reunion. Thanks for your site!! | |
A really great person had picked up our dog, Ceasar, on Thursday morning. By Thurday evening, family and friends were out looking un 10:00 pm that night. Ceasar is more than a dog, he's a special member of 2 families. I thought there must be something else that I can do...so I put a notice on Fido Finder, and in what seemed minutes, I got a reply that Ceasar was safe. A Christmas season was saved by our hero who found Ceasar and kept him safe. Fido Finder is a great resource. |

I wanted to say thank you your help in my search for Piggy. Piggy was found yesterday in Northridge, Ca - a couple picked her up and decided after three weeks to check FidoFinder.com where she was registered as missing. Piggy is back home with me happy and healthy. Thank you again for all of your kind words and prayers and for being so supportive through such a difficult time. Marisa Ritts |

Thank you so much for finding our dogs, 2 pugs were lost, tuesday morning, and 2 responsibles people found our dogs. Willson and Wilma. They were safe very close to uur home, we were crying and praying for the last 4 days and today is my husband's birthday. Our kids were found!! | |
I found a lost dog. No tags and no chip. I placed flyers around the neighborhood and walked the neighborhood to see if anyone knew this little guy. Spoke to all the kids with no luck. With in 3 hours of posting the information with you he was back safe and sound. A reward was offerd to me but I felt it would be better for them to get the dog chipped and some ID tags. You offer a wonderful service to pet owners. Anne |

Dear Fido Finder, Thank You for your web site. Thanks to your website my chihuahua, after two days,is safely home where he belongs. A very happy pet owner! | |
Our two labradors were missing for two days. I posted their descriptions on FidoFinder.com and someone contacted me within 14 hours that they had my dogs! What a great service! Lucky and Diego are back home safely. | |
Thank you very much for your site, as it has produced a very happy reunion. Marsha Richardson |

I recently found a Corgi in Seattle, WA. I placed "found" posters all around my neighborhood - but had no success. I registered the found dog on your website....and I received an email within 24 hours of posting the ad. I took to dog to the address I was given when I made contact with the owner. The lost dog was indeed theirs, and I made a bit of money! I would have kept the dog myself, it is a great dog. Thanks for your great service. Ellen Miller |

My little shih tzu was taken 1/7/07. I had about given up hope and I can not tell you how much pain and fear I was in. My Gomer was returned last night by a wonderful family who picked him up off street. We had just moved to this area and I was told that he would never find his way home. This family saw your ad and called last night. There are no word to thank you or them. Gomer is going to be chipped today. God Bless You, Sandi | |
On Friday night September 30, my Bulldog Mugly and Pug L'il G got out of our yard. My neighbors said they had seen someone going after them with a pick up truck, but had no further info (make model, license tag, etc.) We did all the normal things, immediately called all local shelters, posted flyers, placed ads, and searched the internet. In my searching I found FidoFinders and posted an add describing Mugly (with his traveling companion). After a week had passed I continued to call my localshelter (Baltimore County), but both the lady I talked to and I were not optimistic. Sitting at my desk on Wednesday (10/12) almost 2 weeks after the dogs escaped, I received an email from a Good Samaritan who volunteers at the Baltimore City shelter who had seen my posting on FidoFinders and was pretty sure the City Shelter had my dog. I immediately drove downtown to ID him, and sure enough it was my Mugly! Unfortunately L'il G had run away when the shelter tried to get her, but Mugly was safe and sound. Thanks to FidoFinders and my Good Samaritan, my lovable ugly bulldog is safe and sound again! Eileen Welsh | |
On January 28, we found a dog in an isolated park next to a busy street. He was dragging a very long chain, evidence that he had broken free from a yard. We contacted the Humane Society and had the dog scanned for a chip. We were elated when we found a chip with the owner's name and phone number. Unfortunately, the owner had moved and the number was no longer valid. After an exhaustive search, we were unable to locate another number for the owner, even though we had her name. An ad was also placed in the local newspaper with no response. Fortunately, we happened upon Fido Finder's website by chance and placed a found dog notice. I received an e-mail from both the owner thinking that the dog was hers and from Fido Finder matching the two dogs in the area. The dog was returned to his owner after being gone for two weeks. Thanks Fido Finder for making this service available! | |
Dear Fido Finder Folks, What a wonderful service you offer! My Name is Stephanie Quarton and I live in Mesa AZ. I lost my big silly dog shortly after he came to live with us. He hadn't been neutered yet and he got out of an open gate late in the evening. Some wonderful volunteer from friends for life coaxed him into her car, (he's very shy) and took him to their no kill shelter. I was frantically looking everywhere for him when someone suggested I try the internet as there were many lost dog sites. I posted to several with no luck, but when I got to Fido Finder I found someone had posted my dog as found. After we emailed each other back and forth to be sure it was my dog (he was so new to the family I didn't even have a picture to post) I was directed to the shelter. I gave them the reward I had put up for the dog and am eternally grateful to everyone for their kindness and assistance. Since then Bear has been neutered, microchipped and has a great big collar with two tags! Once again thank you. Stephanie Quarton |

After posting "TJ" on FidoFinder, I was contacted by a good samaritan who, while she hadn't found the dog herself, had scanned local lost pet listings and put me in contact with a woman who found a dog matching the description. We exchanged email messages and pictures and TJ was home approximately one week after he disappeared. I don't think we would have found him without FidoFinder, as he was a long way from home in a neighborhood we had never even considered postering. Thank you! Jennifer Aldrich |

Dear FidoFinder, In January '05, a visiting Basenji who had been with my husband and me in Seattle WA for only five days got loose and headed north. We tried everything: shelters, vets, flyers, searches, and a registration on FidoFinder. In that situation it was the flyers that did the trick, and in the joy of recovering Mandy (who had been found after two days five miles north of our place!) I forgot to delete her info from FidoFinder. Then yesterday, May 15, my own two Basenji's escaped! Again we geared up for a search, posting flyers in a 5-mile radius and contacting shelters and vets, but forgot to register Jet and Lilly on FidoFinder. However, because Mandy's old information was still on FidoFinder I received a FidoFinder message this morning that two Basenjis had just been registered as found in my neighborhood! I contacted the finder, and after a detailed conversation in which it became clear that the dogs she had found were indeed our Jet and Lilly, we met for a very joyous reunion. You can bet my Jet and Lilly are now fully registered on FidoFinder, and I'm ordering a FidoFinder dog tag for each of them. Thank you for being there! Kelley Knickerbocker, Seattle WA |

Dear Fido Finder, Thank you so much for your service. My cousin's dog tested the security of their new fence & found it inadequate (escapable). My cousin had recently moved and so the dog was in an unfamiliar area. I posted ads for my cousin while he was out searching for Louie. Louie went missing on a Saturday and when I found out I posted the ad on Sunday with Fido Finder. Late Monday night, around 9:30pm, I recieved an email from a nice lady named Dori. Dori used the Fido Finder service to email me with her contact information. I immediately called my cousin, who was still driving around, who then called Dori. Dori had spotted Louie near her house but could not catch him. She noticed that Louie would approach dogs but not people so she asked someone to walk their dog so Louie would come close. She was able to see Louie's name and so she hopped on her computer & found Fido Finder via search engine. After my cousin spoke with Dori he drove to her neighborhood calling out Louie's name. Louie POPPED out from a yard to the call of his name!!! My cousin was so happy to have his boy back. Dori's quick thinking to use the Fido Finder helped Louie find his family. Louie was found over 4 miles from his home. Thank you very much for your ad service! I have recommended it to all my dog rescue friends. Thank you, Kate O. Snohomish, WA |

We knew what to do after our little Silky Terrier got out and disappeared one afternoon; Get the word out ASAP with all the necessary details to as many people as possible. After printing over 150 flyers with your poster design on our home printer and canvassing our neighborhood, some one called us in less than an hour, with information on what had happened to our dog. That info lead us to her right away and we were all happily reunited. Thanks for such an quick and easy poster design, all ready to go. It was very effective. All is well and again thank you. Charles and Baily the dog. |

I wanted to thank you for having this site. My dog was found through the watchful eye of police and children. They saw all the posters that we hung and we were able to track her path, which was appx. a 10-20 mile area. UNBELIEVABLE!!! The use of your web-site made the weight of sadness a little less and was comforting to know that something like this was already in existence. Debbie & Ray |
