Want proof that microchips help reunite pets with their families? Meet Angel.

Angel is an Akbash/Pyrenees mix who went missing two and a half years ago. Her dog father, Doc Paulson, worked extra hard to prevent the gentle but cunning escape artist from finding her way out of the fence. But one day, she left and didn’t return. He called her microchip company, posted her online. He searched and searched and searched— all to no avail.

In December of 2021, one of our volunteers. Susan Widaski notified our rescuers of a large white dog living in a wooded area in Woodway, TX. It had been there for months, being diligently fed by a gentleman close by. Unfortunately, the dog evaded rescue.

In January, rescuer Tammy Andrews set up a trap for the elusive giant. She taught the Good Samaritan techniques for enticing the pup to the trap with food. Finally on February 22nd, it was was trapped and secured by Stephanie Cobbs. Who than brought her to livestock guardian dog expert Gail Forrest! After a microchip scan, it was discovered the pup was Angel. Doc Paulson’s beloved missing fur baby.

If Angel didn't have a microchip, it’s likely she wouldn’t have been reconnected with her family. The happy ending was tear filled and joyful! (Check out videos here: https:// www.facebook.com/groups/hotlfp/ permalink/3244701029106608/)
