Do You Know Where Your Dog Is?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Home Jane Realty BRE# 01439865

For the first time I didn't hang up on a robo call.

I just got an out-of-state calll with the caller ID saying "Find Toto".
Basset

How can you hang up on a call with that ID.  I figured I was going to be interviewed for a remake of the "Wizard of Oz."

The computer message was simple.  So-and-so has lost their black "something" dog, name of "something."  They gave a full description of the dog and said to call such-and-such a local number if you found it.

I thought that was a unique idea.  It looks like the site is completely free.  Check it out!

What a really cool idea.  I'm going to see what all I can find out about the organization.  What a worthy cause.  I think I would have taken that call too.

Jane I know this is a little off, but our new dog Boomer is an escape artist, thankfully he heard us outside going to the hot tub and came over all happy to see us. We have been out securing the top of the dog run.

There's also an "app" for the same kind of service that you can sign up for that immediately alerts you when a dog has been lost in your zip code.  What will they think of next? 

Jane...I always love reading your posts.

Well, he is just darling...I will box him up and ship him out tomorrow...I will also send you a handy list of all his monthly upkeep charges...did I mention that he is 15? He has just a few minor quirks...yea...that's what we will call them...I will include a list of those as well. Yes, you had offered and then ran across the pond, and then posted something saying that you would be really, really busy!

Jane,  um, I think that my pit bull and great dane might have a problem with him, not to mention the hamster, python and iguana.  But if you must, I will find a small caller for him.  Just give me an address to send the maintenance bill.

It's $85.00 to make 250 phone calls and goes up from there.  was find toto.com that I was able to find more info on them.  I guess it's the same company I think it is anyway.

Jane, Great way to get the word out.  It has to be devastating to lose your pet and anything you can do to try and find them is worth it.
