Aww, I don't have any pictures, but a couple of years ago when I was out walking Star I came across a VERY old golden. (Acey)

I took Star home, went out to get him, and called the number on his rabies tag while I tried to get him home. I got in touch with his owner who was delerious with joy to know he was okay. I guess the PG&E guy had left her gate open and he had wandered off.

He collaspsed shortly before his mama showed up to get him, so we had to hoist him into the car, which was no small feat! I'm glad he got home, he was so old and crippled it would have been very easy for him to get hit by a car.

I don't have any pics but about a month ago I was at my friends house (about to leave to hike Timp actually) and a cute little schnauzer wandered into her yard. She was very sweet (didn't even bark..a schnauzer that doesn't bark? lol), young, and in heat. She was gray and white and quite thin with an a not very good home grooming job. Her tag had a phone number and an address, we called the number but nobody answered. So we drove around and eventually found her house, it was in the same city but a considerable distance away and not far from a really busy road. They weren't home. So my friend climbed the fence and luckily they had a doggy door so she put her in that then put a heavy pot in front of it so she couldn't get back out. We asked a neighbor first and confirmed that was indeed their dog.

I don't have pictures, this was a couple years ago, but a gorgeous huge doberman boy was running around in the alley behind our house. I called him over and put him inside our fenced yard. Fortunately he had a tag on, so I called. Turned out his owner had been running all over town looking for him. They were overjoyed to get him back.
I felt like the dog-return service in that neighborhood - there were at least 4 dogs that got away from their yards regularly - I used to keep an extra leash handy. They all knew me & would trot right over to me.

I love seeing the pictures, my heart goes out to beautiful Sheba, I'm SO glad you got her back to her owners!
Kay, I remember how attached to CoCo you were - maybe some day she'll show up on your doorstep again.

Our house was the dog return service too, but after 4 times for one dog, then I call AC because the owners don't care about the safety of their animals. I have returned so many dogs to owners, that I can't even give you a number. I did have one JRT that showed up here, with a collar and tags, but the tags were wrong, so I had to do alittle reserch to locate the owners, but when I did she was crying when she got here, he had been missing for 2 weeks, they lived over 10 miles away, so he travel a good distance!

Over the years there have been many. The latest was just last Thursday.

It was raining buckets as I got in my pickup to go to work, with a cat in a carrier heading to the vets. I turned around to close the door and came face to face (literally!) with a huge gray Great Dane!

What to do? Can't fit him in the truck, can't let him in the house with my 3 dogs.

Fortunately he had a collar with a tag. I called the phone number and left a message. Called again 10 minutes later, only to find I had called the wrong number . The address is only 3 houses away. So I tried calling again with a slightly different number. Got a machine. Finally put the dog in my yard, went to work and called again from work. Finally got my neighbor on the line and told him to get his dog.

The dog's name is Huckleberry. He is a real sweetheart. I can't believe I didn't know he lives there!

We've rescued a few dogs and reunited with their owners.
One dog that we kept overnight was Jack. He was running around our neighborhood for about a month and he started getting thin so my mom decidied to take him in.He had no collor,no tags what so ever. He was such a sweet dog, i really wish we could have kept him. We took him to a wonderful rescue and he was adopted out.
