Unfortunately, pets stray from home much more often than we could have though. According to Petfinder, the American Humane Society estimates that there are over 10 million&nbsp;stolen or lost dogs and cats in the U.S. every year. Petfinder also states that one in three pets will become lost at some point during their life. That\u2019s absolutely awful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Spokeo, we\u2019re focused on helping people connect, but we\u2019re here to help furry friends in need too! Recently, we heard from one very lively customer about how our search tools were integral in getting one special Siberian Husky&nbsp;back to his family\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"embed-youtube\">\n<iframe style=\"width:100%; text-align:center;\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iBEMIGgAcwI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n.embed-youtube {\n    position: relative;\n    padding-bottom: 56.25%; \/* - 16:9 aspect ratio (most common) *\/\n    \/* padding-bottom: 62.5%; - 16:10 aspect ratio *\/\n    \/* padding-bottom: 75%; - 4:3 aspect ratio *\/\n    padding-top: 30px;\n    height: 0;\n    overflow: hidden;\n}\n\n.embed-youtube iframe,\n.embed-youtube object,\n.embed-youtube embed {\n    border: 0;\n    position: absolute;\n    top: 0;\n    left: 0;\n    width: 100%;\n    height: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p>One late night, dog finder\/Spokeo user (and organizer of Lost and Found Paws in LA Metro Area Facebook Group) Helen Trimble, came across an online message from a family who was missing their beloved Husky. It noted that the family couldn\u2019t \u201ceat or sleep\u201d without \u201cSly\u201d and that they \u201cmissed him terribly.\u201d Helen knew she was needed and immediately began her tried and true search methods. She located a \u201cfound dog\u201d post that she was pretty sure matched Sly\u2019s description, down to his \u201cyellow Tweedy Bird collar.\u201d She was thrilled to tell the family as soon as she could, but there was a complication &#8212; Sly\u2019s family had forgotten to include their contact information in the original message!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helen knew exactly what to do. \u201cWe went on Spokeo and we found the address!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being that it was so late at night, she wasn\u2019t sure if they should wait for the morning, but the person who had found Sly noted that if the family wasn\u2019t eating or sleeping they\u2019d probably appreciate getting him back no matter what time of night. So with Helen as her guide on the speakerphone, she biked to Sly\u2019s family\u2019s house and the family was joyfully reunited with their dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spokeo is thrilled to have provided the missing link in a crucial and stressful moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ever find&nbsp;a lost dog and need to look up its owner\u2019s information, simply plug in the details you know such as name or phone number at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\">blogtest.spokeo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pets are like family and for a dog or cat&nbsp;owner, there\u2019s no scarier thought than your pet going missing.
