True Pet Stories

My sixteen-year-old brother-in-law's friend left our gate open when he left one night. The next morning, we let Jay (our dog) outside not realizing the gate was open and by the time we realized he was gone, he was long gone. We searched the neighborhood door to door and put out flyers. Anybody could have scooped up our dog and done anything with him. By him being a rare breed in the area, folks always have their eyes on him. Lucky for us, he was picked up by our local humane society's president. A wonderful young lady spotted our flyers, recognized him, and gave us a call to let us know where we could find him. Thankfully, we got him back. As soon as I received the call and knew Jay was found, I did a google search to find loveyourpets.com and ordered Jay a tag. Now, if (God forbid) he ever runs off again, we can be contacted easily without having to go through so much. It is always a wonderful idea to have your information on your pet for such an emergency.

Dear Staff at “LOVE YOUR PETS,”
I am 58 years old and have never owned a dog. My youngest son is a plumber and was doing some work at a home that had previously been occupied by drug dealers. Several dogs were left abandoned in the home ostensibly due to a hasty retreat! All efforts to locate the owners were futile and the pick of the pack was an adorable salt and pepper Schnauzer. She was shuffled to several homes before she ended up at our home.

For some reason “Schnauze” immediately adopted me! I taught her German commands and everyone cracks up listening to the Grandchildren trying to pronounce them. Being a pilot I spend as much time as possible with the local airport bums and Schnauze was soon adopted as the airport mascot. She is quite savvy about the airplanes and very well behaved. I have had her for about three years now and she is my enduring shadow. The entire family can tell I love her deeply in spite of my refutation.


A few months ago I was out of state on an extended business trip and my wife called me in tears telling me that Schnauze was missing and the neighborhood search had brought no results. Trying to calm myself and my frantic wife I told her we should pray and hope for the best. In less than an hour Schnauze came home covered in mud.


Counting my blessings I immediately went online to find a company that offered information tags for pets. I liked the “LOVE YOUR PETS” website and bought tags for all three dogs (we inherited two more). We were surprised at the very reasonable price, the great quality and how fast they arrived!
Yesterday my wife called and said that she received a phone call inquiring if we were missing some dogs. Arrangements were quickly made to retrieve the gate busters and all is well again. I just now ordered a tag for my 20 pound Siamese named “Purdy Cat”, (not that he moves much) but you never know….


I don’t get a pat on the back very often but my wife had to admit that choosing “LOVE YOUR PETS” was a great idea! Thanks to everyone who makes our pets (and their owners) rest a little easier!

Most Respectfully,
Milo & Lavendia Ketchum

I found you know by an online search. Not sure how I found you 19 yrs ago. I had a tag made for my new puppy. It was the stainless steel circle. He wore it every day for the 18 yrs of his life. Fortunately, it was never needed for a recovery but he had it--just in case. I now have two new puppies and this is one of the first things I'm ordering for them. I can't thank you enough for the lasting quality and sense of security your tags have provided me. R. McMahon, WA

You have been with me for quite a long time. As I have moved, rescued different animals, changed my last name, and moved several more times and I always ordered new pet tags from your company. Once, in a pinch, I got a store-bought tag from Pet Smart. The finish wore off within a month. Needless to say, I ordered Heidi's new tag from you. One of my babies, a retired racing greyhound named Adare (photo attached),discovered that someone had neglected to close our back gate. In a flash,he took off and ran around town for quite some time until someone caught him peeing on their rose bush! Because he had a Love Your Pets tag, a kind person called our number and Adare was quickly recovered. The best part of this story is that Adare was brought back safe from harm within a few hours of his escape. The funny part of this story is that he might have gotten away with his escape if he wasn't wearing his pet ID tag... the college student who was dog-sitting for me that weekend failed to mention that Adare was an escapee. On my answering machinge, however, was a follow-up call from the man who found Adare. I asked the student if anything unusal had happened while I was gone. "No," was her response. "Nothing at all?" I asked. "Nope!" she responded. When I played the message for her she had to eat her words. And I knew I needed a new dog sitter. Thank goodness my boy was OK! Thank you! Shanen

We losed our one pet to brain cancer, and we still had my little baby girl, who we raised for 2 weeks of age. And we never got another pet, cause she was 8 years old. And I really didnt want to get another puppy, to ran her crazy. Then on the morning of June 11, 2005, I knew she was dying. She was breathing very funny, and heavy. I didnt talk or eat for 5 days. I miss her so much, everyday. And I really miss her when, I get out of the shower, and she is not there to go to bed with me. I miss her sleeping beside of me still. But, about oct. last year, The dog pound called us, to see if we wanted to come and see a pittbull that they had found. (Branshree was pittbull) And we when, And I cried my eyes out, He was a spitting image of her. And Now, he will be a year old on aug. 15. And he dose so many things, that branshree use to do. That it freaks me out at times. I have to stop a minute, and thank branshree for sending us another her. Even thought she was female and he is male. I still think that she send him to us, well me mostly, to help me though all of my difficult times I am having since her lose. He is her, I can feel it in his touch, when he touches me, and I can feel her there. I want to thank her for him. She was a very sweet baby, and so is he. Its like he took over, where she left off. But, I love all my babies. even my little girl DaShiki Rai, that is he's sister.

In March 2007 I was driving along the interstate and saw a dog running around in the median. Glancing around, I noticed many farms along the road that I thought that one was probably missing their dog. I pulled over and coaxed the little guy into my car to check his tags and call the owner. It was then that I realized this dog was a tiny little boxer puppy that was injured (scrapes and cuts). He had no tags attached to his collar. I called my husband and said "I'm bringing home a puppy I found on the road!" He was very concerned...of course, I was extremely upset over this little baby dog being abandoned on a busy highway and he seemed to have some serious injuries.

It is now the beginning of October, and after an unsuccessful search to find his owners, we are happy to have him as part of our home. We named him Deacon. He made a wonderful little brother for our 3 year old lab Cooper. They are best buddies!

All of his injuries have healed and we love him more and more every day! When we found him he was about 25 pounds, and now he is almost 70 pounds! Take time to notice life around you, you never know when a little ray of sunshine will enter your life!

This is Buddie (Black and White) and Lilly Bean (Orange), both are strictly indoor cats. I went online searching for pet tags after a scare that Buddie gave us.

He found a great hiding place that we could not find, so we thought that he had gotten outside so we headed out to hang lost cat signs and shortly after we got back he comes walking across the room as if we weren't just frantically trying to find him. Thank goodness it was a scare as they did not previously wear pet tags.

The experience has been great w/ Love Your Pets. I have since ordered all my pets tags and have recommended them to my friends. Thanks!

The first day of rabbit season, November 4, 2006, my husband set off on the great white rabbit tail hunt with Buster our family beagle in tow. Buster has been in our family for 8 years and has been a house pet all this time. He was never an outside dog. Buster decided to chase after a female beagle in heat and then he was gone. We searched for days in the same area looking everywhere for him, it absolutely broke my heart. I am a big-time animal lover and my dogs are my "kids". It was devastating not to find Buster. We contacted local shelters and newspapers. I made fliers up and posted them within a 30-mile radius and I went on the radio to the lost and found and pleaded for someone to find my dog. By Christmas I had all but given up that I would ever see Buster again, my sweet, sweet boy. My heart was broken, I missed him so much and the thought of him out there somewhere in the woods just killed me. I wanted my "boy" back home with me in my bed all nice and warm. On February 6, 2007, my husband got a phone call at 8:30 am from a guy who said he had Buster. My husband said, "No way can you have Buster". The phone number on the caller ID was from Virginia. But the guy said the dog's name was Buster and he asked if my husband's name was Ronnie and if we lived in Montrose, WV and my husband said yeah and the guy said, "Then I have your dog". We couldn't believe that this might be true, but nonetheless we wanted to believe that we would get our dog back. It turned out that Buster was 210 miles away from home and he had gotten his foot caught in a coyote trap and was found by this guy at 8:00 am and took him home to get him warm. The temperatures that morning were below zero, so Buster was cold and freezing. When we got Buster back home we immediately took him to the vet because of his foot being in a trap in freezing temps. We needed to get him medical care as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the trap did not hurt his foot but the freezing temps did and we had to have his leg amputated. I felt so bad for Buster, but at least we still got him back and he is still the same ol' boy. He still runs and carries on like he has four legs. Needless to say...much to Buster's dismay...he will never go rabbit hunting again. I won't let him. From now on no more house pets for hunting. My husband keeps his rabbit dogs out in pen and my babies in the house do not go hunting.

I took my two dogs Maddie and Bubby to fenced in dog park. Bubby is a beagle and he follows his nose as such. While we were there he caught a whiff of something he wanted to follow. He quickly squeezed himself through this little hole I never thought he could fit in. Maddie (being 75 lbs.) and I had to run around to the outside of the fence. We saw him a little ways away, but the snow was so high where he was, up to my waist! He was only 30 lbs. and was walking on top of it. Maddie and I got into my car and drove around the outside of the park looking for him. I couldn’t see him anywhere. We stayed at the park for about 2 hours driving around and screaming his name. I also called the dog officer (and my work, I couldn’t go to work while Bubby was missing!) I was just about to go home when I got a call on my phone “Are you Bubby's owner?” I started crying and said “Yes, yes! You have him?!” the boy on the phone said yes, asked me where I was and said he would meet me there. I was so happy, I waited for them to come to the park. When they got there I was the only car in a dark park parking lot. The car was full of four teenage kids. They pulled up next to me and handed off Bubby. Maddie was so happy to see him! They said they found him walking on the side of the road, about 2 blocks from our house! They called him into the car, being the friendly little beagle he is jumped in. They saw his tag and called my phone. The kids were so nice, everyone in the car said “Bye, little man! He was fun to have!” They were great and brought my Bubby back home safely thanks to Love Your Pets pet tags!
