furryfacesParticipantPut visible pet ID on every one of your pets–it’s the number one way pets are reunited with their people. You can ID all your pets for just $5.00 per pet tag. Just stop by Furry Faces Foundation’s Summerfest booth this Saturday or Sunday, located in the Community Tent, on the SE corner of Alaska and California
Looking forward to seeing you!
Furry Faces’ Pet Retention Program: Tag Your Pet—It Ain’t Graffiti!
The Problem
Did you know that only 2 -3 % of unidentified, lost cats are reunited with their people? That the unidentified, lost dog reunite rate is only 13% – 15 %? That 80% of pet owners believe it is important for their pets to wear pet ID, but only 33% actually have their pets wear tags?
An Affordable Solution
‘These are frightening, and often heartbreaking numbers for people that have pets’, says Teri Ensley of Furry Faces Foundation, (F3), ‘and this is where F3 can provide an inexpensive method for people to increase the likelihood of reuniting with their pets! ‘Tag Your Pet…It Ain’t Graffiti’ is our newest pet retention program. It’s simple. It’s affordable. It’s a pet tag made for you on the spot!’
‘An IMARC pet tag engraver was donated to our group. Our goal is to let pet owned folks know that an ID tag and collar are the #1 way missing pets are reunited with their owners and provide pet tags at just $5.00 each’, explains Tammy Lyle, F3 Vice President, ‘Funds we raise from pet tag sales will be rolled back into ‘Tag Your Pet…It Ain’t Graffiti’ so we can provide free pet tags and collars to our clients’ who are financially restricted. All animals want to be reunited with their people and we want to help increase their odds of success’.
The Experts Chime In With Study Results
‘Simply said, a collar & ID tag is the most direct method to reunite pets with their people’, Dr. Weiss of ASPCA. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/21/the-importance-of-pet-tags
“The return-to-owner rate is abysmal for cats. If we could get cat owners to try using a collar with identification, it would be a big deal.” Dr. Linda Lord, Assistant Professor of Veterinary Preventative Medicine, Ohio State University. http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/catcollar.htm

pigeonmomParticipantWe’ve been conversing on Facebook a bit but I haven’t heard back from you. I can’t make it to summer fest, can I buy this elsewhere?
Thanks. :-)

katmanParticipantSorry I will miss your booth. I am going on Friday to summerfest when it starts,, a day before you say you will be there. I made an appointment to have my car worked on so I have a place to park while I visit the sites in WS. PrettyKoolHuh?

furryfacesParticipantHi Katman…That was a brilliant idea! Are you going to Courtesy Tire by any chance? (that’s where our Leader goes too1)
We would be happy to provide pet tags for your pet(s). Please feel free to email us at furryfaces@hotmail or go to our new website at http://www.furryfacesfoundation.org and click on contact. We can discuss what is needed and the styles/colors of tags. Thanks for your support!
Cheers, The F3 Gang

pigeonmomParticipantTried emailing with no response. Maybe it got sent to the spam folder?

celeste17Participantpigeonmom, if you email me celestine18@comcast.net. I will get whatever information you need and will respond to you. I know that Furry Faces will be at some of the summer events around West Seattle so you might find us elsewhere. Maybe one or more of the movies on the wall?

DFWParticipantCool, F3 — we have been meaning to update ours!
Also, Pigeonmom, I’m sure that Furry Faces is not slighting you at all by not getting back to you immediately. I’ve had a booth at Summerfest in the past, and it is a lot of work, especially when it’s on top of a different full-time job. It probably would have been three days before I got back to someone. F3 has been very responsive to me in the past; just hoping you can give them a bit of a pass this time.

lindaParticipantBump!
@pigeonmom: I’m also certain no slight was intended. All of the F3 gang are volunteers who also hold down full time jobs. In addition, our fearless leader is still working on re-inhabiting her house now that is back to being livable from the house fire. We’d love the opportunity to make your pet tags for you, but even I’m not certain of the next event when we’ll be doing this. I’ll see if I can find out over the course of Summer Fest and get something posted here.July 14, 2013 at 4:26 am #793327
funkietooParticipantHi Pigeonmom, F3 has responded to a couple of emails similar to your request and thought you must have been one of them. We are so sorry we are not receiving your email(s). If you email Celeste perhps we would have greater success it being able to make tags for you. Hope to hear from you soon.
