25.01.2022 *********** REUNITED *********** Thank you all so much for sharing and commenting! :D ID: 124372 LOST DOG: Snowy - Bonner ACT

24.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Pan We found Pan in the house in a new hiding place! He was clearly asleep throughout our frantic search inside and in the adjoining neighbourhood. We couldn’t believe he got out as the only way out was a jump off the balcony and it was raining at the time. Lesson #1 trust your instincts! ... The email I received from lost pet finders was helpful because it reminded me to go back to basics and research the house. It was very reassuring and I’m now pleased to be connected in with a wider community to keep an eye out for other lost pets in my travels. - Kathy

23.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Dari I just wanted to say a Huge thank you to lostpetfinders, your website and resources was so helpful. I’m truly grateful for being able to use your website to ask people to help me find my bird. Sorry it took me a couple of days to reply. My Darri bird needed my attention after her big adventure in the wild. Darri is healing up nicely and very happy to be back home with her family....Continue reading

22.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Little Puss A friend of mine heard that a litter of kittens (from wild Cat), next door or near to his place had been found and taken to pound, one of the kittens must of got left behind and my friend found her, he could not keep her and advertised her on facebook, I rang him and organized to take her in, I took her to Vet`s for check-up and later again for her shots and microchip, it took months of coaxing for her to let me pat her, (and many times a scr...atched arm), definitely a wild little kitten she was. Little Puss has been with me for 5 years now, she comes running to greet me in my driveway when I get home from work After a few days of her not greeting me when I got home, I became concerned, I waited another couple of days and then advertised her as missing, I found by listing her on Lost Pet Finders, I also put flyers up at local shops etc. I felt as If I was letting others know that she was missing and that felt a bit better, although still missing her immensely, I wasn’t going to give up looking for her 2 weeks and 2 days after she went missing, I was pulling up in my driveway and Little Puss came running to meet me, I was so glad to see her and she wouldn’t stop meowing and rubbing against me, I am sure she missed me as much as I missed her, not sure what had happened but so glad she is back home. Thanks to all who kept an eye out - Russell

21.01.2022 *********** REUNITED *********** "Shelby has been found! I received a call this evening that someone had bumped into Shelby while walking their dogs. Shelby had made her way back to where she was hit by the car. We took her straight to a vet, they said she seemed fine! She does however have very worn nails so bad that they’re bleeding."

20.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Cheetah How can a cat survive for 13 days without food? If a cat is hiding near the house (where it was eventually found) why wouldn’t it touch food left out for it? Some questions I hope you might be able to answer. Cheetah disappeared the night I got her, when she seemed very traumatised, hiding under furniture. In the morning I couldn’t find her, I assumed she had found an escape route behind the bath and was out! At that stage the rest of the ho...use was closed off. But maybe she just hid near the house and came back in. But if so why didn’t she touch food left out for her, both inside out outside?. After 13 days she was eventually discovered in the front room of the house, where she had found a very dark corner to hide. (we had searched all the rooms) When noticed she was making a beeline for the front door, which may have been left open at times during the day maybe she was going in and out . She may have found water that way. Maybe even food. It's a mystery what happened and how she survived - she didn't seem too skinny! Petfinders helped in that we were able to print professional looking posters very quickly. My neighbours, everyone in the community was very supportive. She is now settling in and seems very content, which is amazing after she hid for so long! Thanks again for your help - Helen

20.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Benson and Gertie Benson went missing with our other dog Gertrude and they were both somewhere in the bush and on farm land for 5 nights. It was a horrendous time for myself and my partner and the best of times when we were reunited with them. We believe they pushed through part of our fence but cannot identify the exact area; we are now in the process of refencing....Continue reading

18.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Grunter Grunter is the son of my female tortoiseshell cat Quasimodo and I love him passionately. He is 10 years old and we moved two streets away 5 years ago. He sometimes goes over the back fence and trolls the area in between. He went missing which had not happened before except for one morning about 2 years ago. After a day I was devastated and quite bereft about it thinking the worst couldn’t sleep and constantly near tears as I contemplated the awf...ul thoughts going through my mind. I contacted Lost Pet Finders and it was the best thing I could do. The advice was excellent and I followed it putting up posters they assembled for me on every Power pole I could in about a half to three quarter kilometre radius and making some A5 flyers I could post into letterboxes about 700-800 at least as there are many flats/apartment blocks in my area. It was a powerful antidote to my grief as I was actually doing something rather than fret and be anguished about it. I was also able to talk to anybody about and alert them to my loss people were consistently kind and promised to look out for him. I didn’t care about people and called out to him from home constantly and while delivering the flyers etc as loud and shrill as I could even at midnight my neighbours must have thought I was a mad woman! He was gone for nearly 5 days and I put the posters and distributed the flyers on days 2,3 and 4. On the 5th day he came into view outside my study in the afternoon I was ecstatic and bawled my head off while cuddling him and talking yes, I was truly madly deeply happy!! Interestingly he was not hungry and was quite nonchalant! From this I assume he had been kept inside and fed as I know he would have come at my call had he been free. He always does. I believe the inundation of posters and flyers alerted the person who had him to the fact that he had an owner and he belonged somewhere else so they let him out. Without that I shudder to think what may have ensued. I must admit I have smelt perfume on him occasionally that is not mine. So heartfelt thanks for the advice and the encouraging emails I received about 4 phone calls and 2 texts and I guess now I will go and take the posters down with joy! I am eternally grateful. Thank you. - Denise

18.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Stormy Stormy is a tortoise shell coloured grey and ginger aged 6years. She disappeared on 18/09/20 while her and her mum(mamba) were outside - Another cat(BIG white one) jumped out of the hedge and chased them, mamba fled inside and stormy took off over the fence, we posted flyers in mailboxes and walked around our neighbourhood everyday and night while shaking cat biscuits bag, (we must’ve looked crazy) . ... On 23/09/2020 we let mamba(kept on supervised outings while stormy was missing) out and she slipped under the house and went running ... which made us all panic thinking we’d lost both of them(was starting to feel really sad at this point) - we stood outside shaking cat biscuits(food time to them) and to our surprise mamba and stormy came running inside. Stormy has been BANNED from going outside. Thank you to everyone who commented, liked, and shared the missing post . - Danica

15.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: George I found George on a walk home in 2009, he was sitting in a front yard but something made me look closer and I saw he was injured. After trying all the closest houses I took him to the vet. After he was recovered I tried finding an owner but with no results and we became family George didn't come home one night and by the second night I knew something wasn't right as he always comes home. I started putting up homemade flyers and asking neighbour'...s. I then posted on social media sites and listed on petfinders. I put those flyers up everywhere, did more door knocking and searched for him every evening and early morning, call to all local vets, council and lost dogs/cats home. Neighbour's were fantastic printing out flyers keeping an eye out. Lost Pet Finders helped with advice connections and flyers. In the end, Neighbour found him in their shed. The advice I would give to someone in the same situation? Keep searching and asking. - Vanessa

14.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Buddy Buddy is the second litter to his mum Civvy. We have had Buddy 2 years. I noticed Buddy didn’t come home to eat 2 days ago, he does sometimes get the wanders and likes to be social.... Lost Pet Finders absolutely helped, I printed off the pet flyer and at 11pm started walking around my street letter box dropping. In the end, I was letter box dropping and looking down drains and calling his name. I then spotted him in the gutter where a parked car was, just sitting there. I couldn’t believe my eyes, I had been searching all last night he was nowhere. The advice I would give to someone in the same situation is to get onto Lost pet finders and read the TO DO LIST - Narelle

10.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Mort We got our little green baby parakeet 2 months ago. I had him beside me on his perch. I fell asleep, in the middle of the arvo. When I woke up 30 minutes later, he was gone. We're on the 3rd floor, his wings are clipped, everything was shut and all the windows had fly screens on them. We were totally lost. I loved the way LPF was easy to find, and the ease with which I could post an ad. While it was probably too quick to get any response from the lo...cal community, I'm sure they would have helped if possible. Mort just showed up the next arvo around 1600hrs, on top of his cage. Just like that. If this happens again, make sure you look inside cupboards and anything that lets them climb (wires, clothes racks, etc) Thanks again! - Raul

10.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Haru Haru is our beloved family member for 5 years. She has always been an indoor/ outdoor cat that roams around neighbours’ houses and backyard. She went missing for 3 days. Our neighbours were really kind and let us check their backyards. We researched online and printed flyers to cover 500 m distance of where she could’ve gone. ... Found nothing though. After being missing for more than 72 hours, she returned home by herself. Lost pet finders provided me support as I go on check everyday and I feel there’s a community behind so I didn’t feel that despaired. Seeing reunited pets with their parents is the best comfort I got. Keep searching and don’t give up!!!! - Faith

09.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Zelda We got Zelda from a rescue exactly a year ago! She had been rescued after living in an attic. She was 18 months old so is now just on 2 1/2 years old. She is an absolutely gorgeous girl with distinctive black and white markings. Zelda was due for her annual vaccinations so my husband took her to our vets. Unfortunately she became incredibly scared while being transported from the car to the clinic and pushed against the cage door so hard it sprang o...pen and she took off into the section of the house behind the vets and then completely disappeared. The clinic is on an extremely busy main road and surrounded by a housing estate. My husband, son, daughter and I searched, called and put up missing posters all over the surrounding area and stayed calling her till 9pm last night with no sightings at all. We were all completely distraught when we had to give up and drive home last night. All the people we came across while searching were very kind with offers of help and the Vets are amazing. The next door neighbours to the Vet clinic were incredibly kind letting us use their back yard as a base to call from and helping us search as well. By engaging with Lost Pet Finders it gave me the sense that I was doing something positive by posting Zelda's photo and information and that if all else failed then the hope would be, someone reading the post would sight her and let us know. At first light this morning my husband drove back to the Vets (we live 15 mins drive away) and resumed calling for her in the vicinity of the clinic and after an hour caught sight of her darting across the grass in the house next door before racing under their house. My son and I arrived shortly after and all three of us crawled into the very tight dirt floor space under the house and called her while shaking the box of "treats" that she loves. After three hours my son eventually was able to throw a towel over her and crawl back out with her. Don't give up! We thought our situation was pretty hopeless. She hadn't gone missing from her own home. She was in unfamiliar territory right on a Main road. We didn't have a clue as to how far she might have ran when scared. She is very timid around strangers and would never come to a call or get close enough for anyone to catch her, it did seem so unlikely we would find her but we kept hoping and in the end were rewarded with her now home safely. - Kari

08.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Lulu Lulu had been missing for 5 weeks after breaking out of her cat carrier when taking her to the vet. (13/10/20) - I was distressed, lost, did not know what to do, I was an emotional wreck - my friend told me about LPF. So I got on to them straight away, and then my journey began .. Within a day I was printing and putting up posters on every foyer door in my street as I live in a street full of units - which made it even more difficult. So every Unit b...Continue reading

08.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Banjo Banjo escaped from his family member carers residence whilst we were on holidays. He was missing for 3 days which had a significant emotional toll on all concerned. Friends, social media were notified and our vet recommended Lost Pet Finders as another means of locating him. Countless hours of searching by family and friends had failed to locate him in the area. Then an unexpected phone call from a person who found Banjo in his back yard playing wi...th his own dog. He called the number on Banjo's ID tag and advised he was only about 500 metres away in a parallel street from where he had gone missing. The most wonderful outcome for everyone. He was tired and somewhat dehydrated and hungry but otherwise no lasting effects from his adventures. Thanks to LPF for the hints etc to help in such a trying situation. - Greg

06.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Mozart It was so touching how much our community helped to bring Mozart home! He is my younger brothers best friend. Mozart was hand raised by one of my best friends and colleague and became a massive part of our family. He is such a loving and cheeky parrot. ... He is still learning the ropes of flying and especially landing which is how he got lost. He didn’t mean to get lost from home but he got scared of the outside world when he miscalculated his landing and accidentally ended up outside. He tried to land but the more he flapped and circled the higher he got until He got stuck in a cloud draft. Our family spent hours on end searching for him from dawn till dusk for 2 days. We put posters up everywhere and posted it all over social media. It was heart warming to see the community come together by sharing our posts and keeping an eye out for him over the past few days. A lovely family called my work yesterday morning because a parrot had come to their back door and took a liking to their son. He was so exhausted and very hungry. They were kind enough to bring him into my work where I could instantly identify him. He was so grateful to be home and my brother is overwhelmed as much as the rest of us at how caring and helpful our community was to bring Mozart home. Mozart is feeling very sorry for himself and is currently soaking up all the attention from his family. My advice is to never lose hope!! We made Mozart known to social media and the surrounding community in hopes that he would be seen and found and he was. My brother was very doubtful and very upset that he would never be reunited with his best friend but this story just shows that it is possible for a bird to find their way home no matter how long or quick it takes. - Elly

05.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Evelyn I got Evie when I first moved out of home 3 years ago. She’s been my companion ever since - it’s always been us against the world! We bought a new house and had been living there for 3 weeks when we went away on holiday for a week. Halfway through the trip the person who was house sitting said she hadn’t seen Evie. The next morning she still hadn’t shown up so we raced home to look for her. We walked around asking all the tradies around our house ...(we are surrounded by incomplete new builds) and left flyers in letterboxes but had no luck. It was so hard to stay positive some days and there were days where I would just constantly cry. The local community were amazing. We had lots of texts and Facebook messages saying people had sighted a cat who could’ve been Evie. We investigated all of these possible sightings to no avail - often finding another ragdoll. After 6 weeks I got a Facebook message asking if this photo could be Evie. As soon as I saw it I knew it was her! The lady said she had been hanging around their house for about 2 weeks but they couldn’t get close enough for a photo. I raced there after work and called her but had no luck. We ended up getting a cat trap later that day and putting some of our worn clothes and some food inside. Evie tried to get the food from the wrong end of the trap but the lady who’s house she had been hanging around managed to sneak up behind her and catch her. Honestly, a designer cat isn’t exactly made for the wild for 6 weeks! But she is home and I couldn’t be happier! STAY POSITIVE! Keep searching! Evie is skinny (she lost 40% of her body weight!) but so happy to be home and has no permanent damage to her organs or anything! - Nicole

05.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Ziggy I got Ziggy at about 8 months old when the neighbours moved out. He is now 4 years old. As I have been working at home we currently spend most of the day together albeit with him asleep. He would usually be in during the evening having a cuddle on my lap, come up to bed when I do and then venture out in the wee small hours to deal to some vermin. He’d bound across the roof in the morning and ask to be let in though the bedroom ranch slider. Much ...more fun than using his cat door. When he didn’t come in on Monday night I started to worry. I knew something was wrong when he didn’t turn up for breakfast on Tuesday morning. At that point I registered him as lost with you and a couple of local Facebook groups. I also did a physical search at the back of the neighbouring properties. To be honest I was an emotional wreck. The not knowing was the worst thing and my house felt very empty. The advice and support from you and the community groups was invaluable. I distributed about 40 flyers and regularly checked the fb messages and emails. Getting personal messages really helped as I knew others cared and knew how I was feeling. There were high and lows but the encouraging messages really helped and outweighed the occasional negative comment. I often read the re-united stories and that really helped me keep my hopes alive that I would get him back. This morning I got a call from a neighbour about 6 houses along to say Ziggy was on his roof. The neighbour had one of my flyers. I coaxed Ziggy to the front of the roof and this lovely man brought him down. Ziggy was a bit stressed when I got him home but has settled now. In terms of advice I would say to anyone to register with you and raise an alert. Definitely connect with their local fb groups and get the flyers out with a photo. Here’s a photo of him back home. Thanks for all your help and support. - Judith

04.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Tilley So Tilley was adopted by me back in august. She was incredibly timid and shy and never ventured far from under my furniture. One weekend I left the back door open a crack and after a frantic search discovered her missing. Luckily I had updated her microchip details and posted on every site I could think of. The outpouring of advice, support and care was incredible - I am humbled so touched. ... I received a call from the same shelter I got her from. She had been trapped and handed into the shelter the day before - a bit dirty and skinny but safe. Thank you again for running such an amazing service! I’m incredibly grateful!! - Amelia

03.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Baci Have had Baci since he was 8 weeks old. Picked him because he was playing with water bowl. He was a very outgoing and curious kitten. But never a roamer. I was away for work and my partner said he had not seen him all day. Timeline however ended up being longer. This site was awesome in terms of checks and advice. Baci’s brother Buka has gone missing for four days and I worked through all the steps suggested on this site but that was through commons...ense. Having a go to point to ground you and give you tasks was great. I was amazed when I went to give a copy of leaflet to vet in my street, they were already printing one from the site. Great to know some vets check the site. I asked in flyers that I dropped for people to open sheds access to under house etc. someone must have done this as he turned up on doorstep safe but ravenous. Start early. Follow all the steps recommended. Get the word out there. - Julie

02.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Tag I was so thankful and relieved that she found her way home. I had printed flyers from the lostpetfinders website, showed and told my neighbours, put flyers into letter boxes too. As I live in an apartment block, a neighbour recognized Tag straight away (Tag was outside my front door). My neighbour kindly took Tag to her flat then contacted me. I am so grateful to lostpetfinders and everyone for their support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tag was gone from 13 February 2021 to 25 March 2021. I had her from a kitten. she is my number 1 furbaby. Every day I hoped and prayed that she would find her way home.... and she did. To those still missing your furbabies, be strong, always have hope, and never give up. - Elaine

02.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Alvin Alvin was a rescue kitten and my son fell in love with him so home with us he came and soon became part of the family and even befriending our two retrievers. He would play with the dogs, hang out with the dogs and eat with the dogs. When he went missing last Saturday we were devastated and putting him on Lost Pet Finders was fantastic. Just to have kind words, helpful tips and positive stories kept me hopeful and encouraged that he would return ho...me. We followed advice given on this page and around 5am this morning we heard a faint meow and there he was at the door. And here he is now. Back in his usual spot. Welcome home little buddy. - Krissy

01.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Beans Our story with Beans is both simple and complicated. We got her from a rescue, 6 months old, very very shy - a stray. We are very good with animals, so she 'warmed' up a little bit, but our mistake was to assume that a fly screen would stop a cat :-( She worked her way through it over night and was gone.... We live in a Street where every house has a massive backyard and 1000s of hiding spots, so we were hoping she had not gone too far away. So we continued putting out her favourite food in a quiet spot in our backyard, and it was gone typically 1 hour after we put it out. After a few days we occasionally spotted her, but she rushed off very quickly. The interesting thing was that the Mynar birds' alarm system pointed us into the right direction. We have gradually moved her food plate up towards our veranda, and we now watch her quite regularly ... and she gets closer and closer. We will have her back in soon. - Bernhard

01.01.2022 REUNION OF THE DAY: Cookie So what I first did was call all the pounds and make sure my little cookie wasn’t being caged up somewhere. Then I created this lost pet finders account again and posted her up, the tips I got really helped boost my confidence and allowed me to know the steps I had to take. I’m grateful she returned before I had to post out flyers but pretty much all my neighbours know my cats and so I knew they weren’t keeping her away from me. The next step was ...to therefore start to go on more walks around the block and just call out her name and click my fingers as I would usually when I call her to come to me. I looked crazy on the roads but it brought her back haha. So last night it was raining and I got really anxious because she’s always usually so cozied up in bed with either me or my mum on rainy days and so I thought if she’s alive she would definitely try to be at home today. So whilst it was still raining I went around the block and again call out her name and checked as many sewer holes as I could just in case she slipped in there. I had no success and my mum told me to come back home and give her an opportunity to come back on her own and so i did. About 3 hours at later at about 10:00pm, I thought it might be worthwhile checking again just through calling her outside my front door as I usually would when she goes out. To my luck I heard a ‘meow’ and just followed it until it reached outside my neighbours house. Initially she was really cautious of me I don’t know why, but she slowly started to recognise who I was and ran up to me for shelter and so that I could take her back in to the house I guess. And that wraps up my little story in a nice happy ending. I think checking around for her at night time (if your neighbourhood is safe) is much better than day time because there are less noise disruptions and your voice almost echos when it’s that quiet. I felt that really helped her track her way back or just know I was looking for her. Thank you for having me share my story and I really hope that anyone out there looking for their own cats can benefit from my word splur or at least regain hope they may have lost. I must admit I really started to lose hope after yesterday as it was day 7, when she usually goes off like this she goes for 7 days maximum and so having that extra day wait really made me think something else must of happened to her. I’m beyond grateful to ‘lost pet finders’ for providing me hope through those emails that would come right when I started to doubt she’d come back. The checklist I really have to emphasis on as it was the best thing ever and made me feel like I was doing the most I could do and not leaving one rock unturned in my search for cookie. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk - Soreti

01.01.2022 ID: 135289 LOST DOG: Eddie - Braddon ACT 2612 Contact this Member: https://lostpetfinders.com.au/pets/135289 Came home from work to find my old dog alone and Eddie nowhere to be seen. He must have fallen slipped out of the balcony as there was no other way he could have gotten out. He's very shy and nervous of new people but loves food. Please let me know if you see him. He's new to Canberra and doesn't know the place at all....
