During the month of April, we are using this opportunity to spread the word about National Lost Dog Awareness Day – but to us, it’s always Lost Dog Awareness day. National Lost Dog Awareness Day was created by Susan Taney, Kathy Pobloskie and Marilyn Knapp Litt – directors of Lost Dogs Illinois, Lost Dogs of Wisconsin and Lost Dogs of Texas respectively on April 23, 2014. A day focused on bringing attention to dogs that are lost each year, while celebrating the thousands that are successfully reunited with their families.Lost Dogs of America is an all-volunteer organization with the exclusive purpose of providing a free service to help reunite families with their lost dogs.The tenacious efforts of the combined states’ volunteers efforts, along with over 600,000 fans have helped reunite over 125,000 dogs with their families since 2011. Getting lost dogs back home reduces stress on owners’, staff at shelters/animal control facilities, other dogs in the facilities, and ultimately saves taxpayers’ money. It also opens up kennel space for truly homeless dogs.“When a dog goes missing, many families give up looking for their lost pet. National Lost Dog Awareness Day was created to give hope to the families still looking for their dogs and remind the public that “not all stray dogs are homeless dogs”.Kathy Pobloskie is the co-founder of Lost Dogs of America and Director/Founder of Lost Dogs Wisconsin. Kathy will join us each month to discuss the methods of dealing with lost and found pets. Our goals are to reunite the lost with their families and to keep more strays out of our local overcrowded shelters.
