Chloe Back Home Thanks to the National Pet Register

 

The Hill children with beloved Pomeranian Chloe

Age, apparently, does not weary some dogs, as proven by the older, yet very lively Pomeranian belonging to Sharon Hill and her four young children.

Recently, Sharon organised insulation to be refitted in the house, which saw workmen trekking in and out of the house all day, accidentally leaving the door open. Naturally curious, Chloe took the open door as an invitation to ‘head for the hills’.

“She didn’t get too far, and we didn’t even notice she was missing at first, explained Sharon.

“It wasn’t until we received a phone call from a man down the road saying that he’d found her that we knew she’d escaped. Then it was just a matter of gathering my kids and walking down the street to pick her up,” said Sharon.

Chloe’s finder had spotted her National Pet Register  collar tag and called the Register’s 24 hour Pet Recovery Centre to find out who owned the wandering dog.

Although Chloe was not missing for a particularly long time, the National Pet Register – a free service provided to pet owners nation-wide – proficiently reunited Sharon with her missing dog. She promptly received an SMS from the National Pet Register stating Chloe was safe and that her finder would make contact. 

“I love the National Pet Register. I think it’s such a brilliant service. I love the fact that if you find a dog, or your dog goes missing, all you need is a quick phone call and the animal is reunited with its owners, said Sharon.

“I’d recommend it to any other pet owner in a heartbeat.”

Sharon’s experience demonstrates just how quickly and unexpectedly even the most home-loving dogs can escape. Pets should wear a collar identification tag at all times as well as be microchipped.

Some pets like Chloe don’t stray far, but a National Pet Register collar ID tag makes it easy for a neighbour to return your pet to as soon as possible. To obtain a FREE National Pet Register ID tag, visit National Pet Register website.
