A local Iowa family is heartbroken today. They went on a cross country driving vacation. During the trip, they stopped at their sister's house in Ashland, Kentucky. Lizzy stayed there where she would be cared for by family members rather than strangers.
Sadly, on Monday July 18th, Lizzy's collar, complete with identification tags, broke off while visiting and she wandered off at a location with which she is unfamiliar. She was seen briefly the next day but would not come when called.
Lizzy is a petite 40 lb, 2 year old, German Shorthaired Pointer. She is a spayed female, and is liver and white, more commonly known as brown and white. Her head and butt are distinctly marked in solid brown.   She is microchipped with a Home Again microchip, and Home Again has been notified of her missing status, but in my experience, Home Again microchips do not always show up on some microchip scanners. If a shelter is using a non-home again or non-universal microchip scanner, she may appear to not have a microchip. (future blog coming on this topic) If you are in Kentucky please spread the word about Lizzy. Her family is heartbroken and worried about her.  If you are located in Kentucky, you can help by checking your local shelters, rescues, veterinary clinics, animal control, and petfinder pages for a dog matching Lizzy's description. Please print this page and hang it in public locations for people to see in case she is spotted. Print this page and hand it to the workers at your local shelters, rescues, veterinarians, animal control, and police departments, especially if you are around the city of Ashland, Kentucky or within a 150 mile radius. Whether you are in Kentucky or not, please share Lizzy's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/groups/129336879919?id=10150258408144920&ref=notif¬if_t=group_activity#!/pages/Help-Find-Lizzy-Dog-lost-in-Ashland-Kentucky/209589362424737?sk=info and this blog with everyone you know in order to help find her and bring her home. Every time this page gets visualized, so does Lizzy's face. If you have any information on Lizzy, please call us at Jewell Animal Hospital at 515-827-5700 or email Immydog@msn.com . Her family misses her greatly... |

I have bookmarked www.vetrescue.blogspot.com for future referrence
Want to thank you for interesting posts dude. Keep writing
If you write about Home Again chips, please clarify for people whether customers need to pay the annual fee to maintain registration. I think many people are confused and pay the fee to keep their pets registered.
On the web site, if you click REPORT A LOST OR FOUND PET in the upper left hand corner, this message appears towards the bottom of the pop up window:
"Don’t have the full-service annual membership?
If not, please log in to your account or call 1 888 HOME AGAIN (1 888 466 3242) to update your contact information. While you do not have access to our full suite of proactive services, we will notify you and arrange for your pet’s return as soon as he is found."
