Share Your Lost Pet Reunion Story

Thank you for being part of the BC Pet Registry community. As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we’re collecting real-life reunion stories from pet guardians like you — stories where a microchip or tattoo helped bring a lost pet home.

Your experience can help educate others, prevent heartbreak, and highlight the importance of permanent ID and registration.

Please fill out the form to the best of your ability and upload photos of your pet.

As a thank you, 10 participants will be randomly selected to receive a customized, limited-edition gift from the BC Pet Registry, along with a $50 gas card — a total value of $100 each!

Deadline to submit: June 30, 2025 @11:59PM (PST)

Your story could make all the difference.

The Moment of Reunion

This is the heart of your story — when you and your pet were finally reunited. We’d love for you to tell us what happened, how you felt, and how your pet responded. These stories help inspire others to register their pets and keep their contact information up to date.

Can you tell us how your pet went missing?

Share what led up to the situation — Was it during a move? Did they slip out unexpectedly? Was it due to a gate or door accidentally left open?

How long were they missing?

How far did they wander from home?

How did the microchip or tattoo help bring them home?

Were you contacted by a vet, shelter, good Samaritan or through social media? How was the ID used?

What was it like when you were reunited?

Tell us about that first moment seeing your pet again. How did they react? How did you feel?

Advice for Other Pet Owners

Your story could be the reason someone takes the extra step to protect their pet. Based on your experience, what would you want other pet guardians to know about preventing pet loss, preparing for the unexpected, or the importance of microchipping and registration?

What would you do differently now that you’ve gone through this experience?

Any lessons learned or things you wish you had known in advance?

Is there anything else you’d like to share with fellow pet guardians?

Photo Submission

Please submit up to 5 photos of your pet. Feel free to be in the photos with them — we love seeing your bond!

For one of the photos, please include a clear headshot of your pet (ideally looking at the camera). This helps us showcase them in future features or celebrations. Reference photo below.
