New Central Website to reunite Aikens Pets
This, we hope is the start of something. Ideally there would be a 3 digit number, like 411 you could call when you find a dog or lose your cat. That, it seems is very hard to do. So we’re starting small. A website set up and run solely to reunited animals and their owners.
Last weekend whilst walking my 2 dogs on a 300 acres farm in Montmorenci, I found a beautiful German Shepard, tired, Hungary and Totally lost. The local convenience store is a hub for lost animals so we asked there and put up flyers. The SPAC and the county Pound were closed as were the vets. There was nothing else I could do…. Then I sent out an emails to all the people I could think of about this dog.
Two days later, COPPER was reunited with his family, who lived on the other side of Windsor and had been frantically putting up signs and looking for him. He had a tag but had lost it, they did not use the local store so did not see my flyer but the power of the Internet came thru and he was able to go home to a very happy 12 yr girl who could finally stop crying.
This is the motivation behind this website, there are no fees, no cost to anyone, just a County wide notice board which hopefully will result in many more happy endings.
With the help of my partner, Wes Funderberg- City of Aiken Web Administrator( who help me set this up), Barbara Nelson, President of Aiken SPCA and all those at The Aiken County Animal shelter. We will have Daily list of lost and Found animals. There will also be an email address which anyone can use to sent their own lost or found. We would encourage people to sign up for our daily alerts and pass they on to other if they think they can help… Just like George Thomas did in the case of Copper!
