True Pet Stories

We had to put down our beloved poodle "Peanut" after 16 years and decided that having a pet was just heart breaking when they are ill. After two years we realized we really missed the love and affection that a dog has to give and started thinking about another dog. My daughter has a shorthaired black and tan dachshund that just tugged at our hearts. We were the baby sitter for her fur baby when he couldn't go with them. She said we really needed to get a dachshund for our own so J.D., her fur baby would have a playmate. Well, after many visits to breeders we found this sweet faced little fellow and my husband chose Alex to be his name. Of course I'm sure it wasn't because his middle name is Alexander. He said it was for Alexander The Great. Let me tell you he has done more for our lives then we ever thought possible. To make if he ever does get out of our site that he is brought back to us, I knew to order a "Love Your Pet" tag. I'm thankful for the reasonal price for the security of always having Alex as safe as possible.

16 months ago, one of our two cats (Rodeo) got out of the house. We searched our neighbor for months and posted flyers up everywhere. We also routinely called the shelters in the area to see if he had shown up. Being an indoor cat we did not have a collar or ID tag on him. We never gave up hope that one day we would find him. We immediately ordered Love Your Pet ID tags for our other cat and our dog to make sure we never lost another pet. Our other cat would not eat or drink for a week until we went to the local shelter and got a companion for her. A few nights ago we were out bike riding and found Rodeo at a house less than 1/2 a mile away from our home. An elderly couple had been feeding him and some other stray cats for over a year. They were happy to return him to us. We are so happy to have him back & plan never to lose him again. I just ordered an ID tag for him and he will always wear it. If only we had thought to have one on him, I'm sure we would have been reunited with him soon after he got out of the house.

It was a hot summer day and me and my daughter decided to let our horses, Ginger,Katie,Amy,and Spitfire out of the field and eat the grass beside the road.The road was just a dirt and graveld road and hardly any one came up through there, so we had nothing to woory about. We had always called for the horses and the quickly came running back to the barn,but it was dark and this time the horsres didn't come.So we got our flashlights and ran trying to follow the horses,but they went to the highway!We headed to the truck and then my cell phone went of, the farmer up thhe road said that there was some horses in his yard and one of threm had a tag that had this # on it! He said it also said Katie! It was my horse! Because of a gift my friend gave me and I had put it on my horses halter, we found the horses !

My dad got home before I did today, so he took our new puppy out of the crate. They went to the basement and as my dad opened the sliding door, Charlie ran right out. My dad went right after him, Charlie ran up 3 blocks before finally a neighbor showed Charlie her own dog. Charlie ran right over to the dog and my father finally caught him. In the process of catching him my dad who has gotten heart surgury 7 years ago, ran out of breath, fell and cut his arm. He didn't have a ID tag yet, it was the last thing that was on my mind with him having so many vet visits. But as soon as I heard what happened, I got online and ordered the tag. I just placed the order so I'm waiting for it but it looks pretty good, hopefully its just like the picture.

My dogs Scruff & Andie are the most wonderful dogs I've ever had. Scruff was adopted from an abusive home and he ended up with Parvo right after we adopted him he was so sick he was in an animal emergency room for 10 days. Our vet bill ran over $3000 but we knew that he was worth it. Andie is his companion.She was adopted shortly after we adopted scruff. On thanksgiving they got out of their fence and were gone 10 days. Since scruff had been abused he was very afraid of strangers. This kind woman called to tell me that they had been in her yard since thanksgiving and they had finally came up to her. We never would have gotten them back if it hadn't been for their pet tags. Thank you so much!

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I have a newly acquired black pommeranian who is strictly a house dog. My last dog was killed when she wandered out of the house during a hurricane while we were securing our yard. She was hit and killed by a car a half hour after she got out. I didn't find out until 4 days and 200 posted flyers later. Animal control had picked her up and since their computers were down due to no power from the storm, they had no way of knowing which dogs had been picked up. She was 15 and I was heartbroken. Since she was a house dog, I had seen no reason to have a tag on her. I vowed not to make that mistake again. It's been 2 years and I finally was able to love another dog. As I had vowed, I purchased 2 identification tags--1 for my dog and 1 for my brother's which I received a week ago. I was going to work today which is 14 miles away. I was almost there and received a call from someone who found my dog a mile away from my house! He had gotten out when my mom went to get the paper. I immediately called home for them to get her and called him back to let him know they were coming. He told me 'Bear' had gotten out of the car and ran away again and he didn't know where. I was about to come back home when I received another call. Someone else had picked him up! My folks raced to pick up Bear!! 2 different people had notified me withing 10 minutes!!! Surely this never would have happened without this wonderful tag. I may have never seen him again. God Bless You for saving my dog. I will be purchasing another tag for my other brother and have already advised many others about your site. Sincerely, Linda

I couldn't be more pleased with my cats' tags from Love Your Pets. As a resident of Louisiana I realized the importance of pet tags after the hurricane. I thought about how many pets could have been returned, if they had worn tags.The disaster made me realize that anything could happen at any time and I could be separated from my cats, Frida and Oreo. Needless to say, I would be devestated. The pet tags give me peace of mind, just in case. Thanks so much for the speed with which I received my tags and I would highly recommend them to anyone with pets.

My sister and I were talking on the phone when a 1 month old kitten walked up to the door started meowing. I told my sister to bring it to my house and I would help him out. That's my story about Buzz Lightyear, my 3 year old kitten.

Sylvester is our kitten and he does a lot of things. He is six weeks old. We found him at a farm at my cousin's place. He was stuck in a long stove pipe and we got him out and he was wild. It was one week ago when this happened. He was very mad at first, but now he loves us to death. I'm so happy we found him when we did. -Joy and my hunbane Jason

Takano's Miracle November 9, 2002 was a normal day for a number of people. But, to Takano, his three siblings and my wife Sherry and myself, that day was the beginning of a long, drawn out living nightmare. At approximately 5:15 that late afternoon, an ignorant and irresponsible hunter shot and hit Takano, wounding him with his large caliber hunting rifle. What happened after the split second of that hunter shooting Takano, is an experience I never want to experience again.
