THANK GOODNESS FOR ID TAGSWoke up early morning to take my kids to school and noticed our backyard gate was wide open. That's when we knew our dogs were gone. We live right by a freeway and main street so that was a big concern. So many things ran through my mind. I prayed to god nothing tragical happened to our doggies. My husband went out to look for the dogs after dropping kids off at school. He stayed out looking for them for at least an hour. He found nothing. Next step was to go look in the dog shelters. While he was out looking in the dog shelter I received a call from a very kind lady named Sharon. She said I was a very lucky person. She had found my dogs in the middle of the freeway and almost got ran over. She pulled over and picked them up and and took both doggies with her to work. Boy am I thankful for id tags and forever grateful with Sharon. If only there was alot more people like her. Thank You Sharon!
Thank you so much for all your help!Thank you so much for all your help! I received the pet ID tags a few days ago! And they look great!

Thanks again!

Thank you, Love Your Pets!Max got out of our fence. I don't know how. It has never happened before, but it happened somehow. We were so upset... only someone who has had this happen to them can know the feeling. I knew that he had his Love Your Pet tag on and it was the only thing that gave us hope. We got a call later in the evening. Max had wandered over 2 miles away and a kind person returned him to us. Thank you to that person and thank you again Love Your Pets.

The day the goat and dogs went to town.Last Sunday we had a horrible wind storm and I had to leave and run an errand. My golden retriever, border collie mix and 1 show goat were all in my yard but were not anywhere to be found when I returned. I began to call neighbors and different ones the next morning when they had not shown up. By 6:30 that next evening I received a call that the Golden Retriever and the Goat had been found. They had traveled 7 miles crossed the interstate and found on old Highway 66. The retriever was not going to be loaded without his goat buddy. They are safely home but have not yet found the border collie mix. He was seen in the vicinity but so scared he was unable to be caught. I just keep praying he will come home. I have ordered these tags hoping this nitemare never happens again. My retriever has tried so hard to talk to me about what happened. Thanks for having this product available.
The first time my dog took a walkI had recently moved to a new apartment, and I have always been able to let my dog out and she would never wander away. She's big mommy's girl. I let her out alone on the 3rd day of living in our new place and 5 minutes later I went to let her in and she was gone. Now the previous days before this I was walking her on a leash down the street and I would walk her to a certain point and turn around and go back home. That day she decided to wander. I recieved a phone call from the lady I know well who owned the local grocery store in front of my apartment and she said to me that she thought she just saw Lucy cross the road. I took off in my car and started to search the street for her. About 10 minutes later I recieved a phone call from the second hand store 5 blocks down the road, stating they had Lucy in the store.Had I not had an ID tag on her, she may have never made it back home...
Traveling TobyI always take my dog on trips with me since he loves to ride in the car. I was visiting friends in a big city who offered to take Toby to the park with them. Not knowing he was too easily distracted to be able to be let off the leash, he chased after a cat and was soon nowhere to be found. Thanks to the two numbers you put on your tags, the person who found him called my cell phone and I was able to pick him up right away.Thank You Love Your Pets!!!!
Where would they be without their ID tags!Panda, Miller & Addie aren't allowed to leave the house without their ID tags on.

Just the other day Panda was sniffing around the neighborhood and a Mrs. Johann, who lives two streets away picked Panda up. She thought to herself, 'this must be the Reggio's dog'. Sure enough Panda had slipped away within the matter of minutes. Thanks to her ID tag she was returned home safely!
Panda is our black & white puppy. She is also the oldest at 13 years of age. She is the angel of the bunch!!

Miller.... he is something else!! He is the 'Man of the House" and the "King of the Neighborhood" He likes to explore the whole neighborhood when he is outside. All I gotta do is clap my hands and he comes running home. But he still never leaves home without his ID tag!
Miller is our 'Katrina Dog'. He loves boat rides, going to the camp & playing with his neighborhood friends. He looks just like a Mini Golden Retriever. He is 3 years old & smooth as can be!!

Addie... She is just a big, big girl! She is our black lab who just made 2 years old on Oct 28th. Super smart & super sweet. She loves swimming in the bayou everyday and going 4-wheeler riding. She pretty fast and keeps up with the bike. She also likes to wonder the neighborhood. Although I don't think she will ever leave my side, she doesn't leave home without her ID tag!!

Remember these ID tags can save your pets life, they can also save you from extreme heartache if your pet ever gets lost. Please buy a tag today and keep your pet safe!
Found after five monthsOur cat, Maruader, was a former stray who, once he "found" us, stuck very close to home. . .and his food dish. One September day, however, we came home and there was no Marauder. We hunted for him, called him, and ultimately placed an ad in the newspaper--all to no avail. A month later, having given up on ever finding him, we "adopted" a replacement to keep our other cat company. But, in March of the following year, we received a telephone call from a lady about eight miles away, stating she checked the tag of a cat that had been in her neighborhood for about six weeks--and it was our Marauder! We brought him home and he remained with us for another 2-1/2 years until he succumbed to cancer.
The Adventure of OtisOn November 24, 2005, I took my cat, Otis, for his annual vet visit. As I also have a Milo, she was put in the pet carrier and big Otis (28 lbs) was on the floorboard of my 4-Runner. When I opened the door to get him out, he shot out like a rocket. I searched for days, weeks, and then over a month for my Otis. I looked under bridges, walked sewer pipes and went through pastures looking for Otis with no results. Then, the first part of February, my cell phone rang and this man with a middle Eastern accent said "I have your cat" and I said "I beg your pardon". He said "Your cat, your cat named Otis (which he pronounced A-tis). I said "Do you mean Otis? Within 30 minutes, I had picked up my long lost Otis and he is safely back home with me and his litter-mate sister, Milo. This made me a true believer in Pet I.D. Tags! To prevent "nuts" from contacting me, I only had their names and my cell phone number engraved on the tags. This is why I knew the phone call I received was legitimate. The caller did not ask for me by name but only indicated that he had my precious Otis.
Crowley's Corral"How many greyhounds make a herd?" laughed one of our neighbors. Our family fosters retired greyhounds until we can find them forever homes. We love to walk our herd-numbers can go from 3 to 6 dogs-around the our area so everyone can see these beautiful dogs and meet them up close and personal. One really cold,dark and snowy morning we received a call for help from a fellow foster. One of his "kids" had gotten out and couldn't be found! There had to be at least 6 people from American Greyhound, our rescue group, helping look for Junior. Thank God Junior was found and not too far from home. When we got home the first thing we did was to make sure our herd had some I.D. on their collars. Recently I came across the Love your pets website and we ordered enough tags for our fosters. Thank you for making such a helpful product at such a reasonable cost.
