Grady, a very high-strung schnauzer-yorkie mix, aka a snorkie, is just two years old. Grady was a rescue dog and his pet parents have had him for about one year. His pet parents adopted him after the former couple could no longer keep him because the husband was suffering from brain cancer.

So, whenever the doorbell rings and someone opens the door, Grady is off running and one day he bolted right out of the house, running down the street and around the neighborhood. Fortunately, the Stefaniak's live on a very quiet street! He was missing for about 20 minutes when one of the neighbors found him down the street. Catherine received an email from Smarttag.com after someone was kind enough to look up Grady's information online and tracked his pet parents down.

Catherine is very happy with the Smarttag service.

"I like having the idea of not having the chip put in him because he was already a stray from someone else from five weeks old...And as soon as I saw the Smarttag at Petsmart, I thought it was a great idea!"
