HomeAgain Because Your Dog or Cat Is So Much More Than A Pet
May 3rd through May 9th is the American Humane Association’s “Be Kind to Animals Week” (registered trademark) and while we’re about to honor mother’s everywhere, it’s also time to acknowledge our “pets.”
Personally, I’ve never once considered any animal living with me as “my pet.” The animals that are kind enough to be my companions and friends are just that… and so much more. There is a huge amount of responsibility when taking another living creature into your home. A responsibility that is not “throw away,” but for life.
So this week means a lot to me. Each animal we’ve been so lucky to have in our home arrived either at our door or we found via pet fairs. The idea of any animal being put to sleep due to lack of love is horrifying.
The other horror would be to lose your dear friend and never get them back! That’s why Be Kind to Animal Week is even more important!
So that is why the Home Again Web Site is making a massive move to get your friend tagged. If in the event they are “lost” and cannot find their way home, that tag will mean a world of difference!
And, in conjunction with this eventful week, Bringpetshome.com is a fundraising Web site specifically created to help shelter animals.
But their generosity does not end there! For each of your friends you register into their program, they are donating $1 to the Humane Association!
That’s a lot of potential lives saved just for being responsible and doing the right thing.
The HomeAgain program (amazing results!) has recovered over 500,000 lost pets! Over 500,000! That’s remarkable. And all because you took or will take the time to ensure your friend’s well being.
Microchipping is a permanent form of identification that cannot fall off or become impossible to read, giving pets the best chance of being reunited with their owners when lost.
Don’t let this week go by without taking care of your animal loved one! Become a part of this program and make sure Fido or Sparky is safe and well loved.

I agree that chipping and tagging is crucial, even if you don;t plan for your pet to go outside much.

This is great that they are pushing for more animals to be chipped. I would just die if anything happened to my two dogs. They are my babies.

This is a very good idea because pets can wander off. I know our pets are irreplaceable and bring us so much joy.

Many pets have been found via tags. It is the right thing to do.

I love that Home Again has this yearly program to assist our pets in the event that they wander off. Tagging your pet is essential.

All of my pets are tagged. Once is all that it takes to lose a pet and with tags, they are sure to be found.

The chip has saved my doggie many times. I can not recommend it enough. It saves lives and money.

HomeAgain is good. I know in CA, it’s mandatory for dogs to be micro-chipped. I can’t imagine losing one of my dogs or cats- they are part of the family and they are loved.
