I live in a a fairly rural area and when my dogs got out of their fenced yard, they had lots of room to roam AND a heavily traveled road. They were found almost 8 miles away, mostly because Lostmydoggie.com sent out alerts to rescue organizations and individuals. My pets were located separate from each other by different people, but they all knew how to contact Carolyn one of the Grainger County Human society rescuers. My dogs are safe now thanks to a lot of people getting the word through lostmydoggie.com
