Amber Alerts For Cats And Dogs Help Reunite Pets With Owners

For most people, when a beloved pet goes missing, owners will post up fliers, search around the neighborhood, or offer up rewards.

But now, there are several services that aid pet owners in their search for their missing cat or dog.

For Rebecca Backer, her six-year-old Labrador Mooch went missing for more than two weeks. She called animal shelters, put up fliers, and searched all over the neighborhood with no luck. Backer didn’t think she would ever find Mooch again.

Then Backer found out about FindToto.com, a nationwide Internet-based company that specializes in finding lost pets.

FindToto.com helped Backer by calling all of her neighbors with a pre-recorded message of what Mooch looked like and who to call if they found him.

A country club owner had received one of those calls, had seen Mooch around the country club, and contacted Backer. Mooch, hungry and a bit thinner, was finally reunited with Backer.

1. This is cool
I checked everywhere including fido finder and put up flyers, called the pound, vets offices, checked for microchip, put up signs, ad in paper, and still ended up with an approx 2 yr old wiener dog. He has been here for six months and settled in. I am amazed no one checked the newspaper at least.
