As a side note while at the crematorium I noticed deceased pets that were obviously someones pets, some had collars and I asked if they call owners or scan for microchip. The response made my stomach turn and I quote “sanitations job is to remove the animals and any hazardous material and I dispose of them (incinerate them basically)” I ask what is the point of microchipping or collars and tags? They don’t even bother to call ppl. Animal control has no interaction with deceased animals so no nothing just cremation. Im thinking about calling media!! Next thing you know they will say they don’t have the funds to spend the 5 seconds it takes to scan and make a call. What is wrong with this picture???

Pookie was my familys dog and we will miss her greatly. But I need help locating her remains. I was told that dekalb county sanitation was called and a pickup ticket was issued when they got there, they didn’t see the body. I spoke with the couple who called dekalb county sanitation (she passed in front of their house) and they said they called Tuesday morning but they didn’t notice when she was gone. I was concerned that they put her in a bag and she got mistaken for trash but they said they left her there. Does anyone know where she may have been taken? Maybe someone knows if she was buried by a neighbor or if they took her somewhere?? I have called every animal clinic in the neighboring areas to see if someone turned her in and nothing. Not trusting what dekalb couny sanitation animal pickup told me I even went so far as to visit the crematorium to check through all the dead animals that were brought in yesterday. No Pookie:( someone has to know something. Please help my family and my 5 year old niece get some closure.

Yes, lots of love and hugs to the owners. We had something very similar happen to us a few years ago. Please don’t feel guilty.. sometimes the little guys just find their way out. AWOL moments happen to all doggie parents at one time or another.

Ditto. I was certain I was about to see good news of a pooch/person reunion. So sad.
