| Pet Finder: |
Since 1989, Encino Park has provided Pet Finders, a lost and found pet
service for its residents. Cindy Haines has made it her mission for
the last 15 years to reunite lost pets with their owners.
Cindy lists her telephone number as a central location to call
for people who have lost their pet. A detailed description of the
animal is recorded, along with information as to where the animal was
lost, how long it has been missing, and how to contact the owner.
From 1989 to 2004, Pet Finders has received approximately 2300 telephone calls regarding lost and found pets and other related animal issues. Phone calls include lost dogs and cats to found turtles and birds. An increased number of loose dogs are always reported at times when firecrackers are popular, namely around New Years Eve and the Fourth of July. This pet reuniting system only works so well because there are so many kind hearted Encino Park residents who are willing to take the time to call Pet Finders regarding a loose animal and to hold on to it until the owner is found. Pet Finders is a beautiful example of how the Encino Park community works together, resulting in mutual benefits for all residents. If you have found a pet, or yours is missing from the Encino Park area, please contact the Pet Finder, Cindy Haines, at 497-3049 or hainesrjca@satx.rr.com |
Likewise, if someone finds an animal, they call and provide a description
of the animal, with the hopes of matching the lost animal to its
owner. This simple system has worked beautifully over the years, and has
resulted in many lost and found matches and relief to many frantic pet
owners.
