Swiper the Shiba Inu

Swiper, the seven-year-old Shiba Inu is a well-behaved dog, but when he and his owners traveled out of state, Swiper was eager to explore the new area. And when he saw a cracked gate, Swiper took his chance!

“We’re from out of town visiting family,” said Frances, Swiper’s owner, “and someone accidentally left the gate open and he got out [where we were staying]. Within 10 minutes of him being missing, we set out looking for him.”

Unfortunately, the search party was unable to locate Swiper in their new and unknown bearings and eventually had to cease searching. But thankfully, Swiper’s microchip was enrolled with our 24/7 recovery service that works across the United States! After being on the run for more than twenty-five hours, Swiper’s microchip was scanned and detected, and AKC Reunite was able to contact Frances with the good news!

A good Samaritan had found Swiper, had his chip scanned, and contacted AKC Reunite to begin Swiper’s journey home! Unfortunately, Swiper’s owner Frances hadn’t updated her phone number on the enrollment and couldn’t be reached. Thankfully, Swiper was protected by AKC Reunite because we also reach out by text, email, and even mail a letter when your pet is found. Our email did the trick and we were able to reunite Swiper and Frances!

“I hadn’t updated my AKC Reunite enrollment with my phone number, so I received an email with the phone number of the person who had Swiper,” said Frances. “I am so thankful for AKC Reunite. I would have been devastated had I not found him!”
