WASHINGTON D.C. — Monday, June 15, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D – Los Angeles County) introduced The Keeping Pets and Families Together Act that would establish a program within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to encourage the microchipping of dogs and cats in shelters with the goal of quickly returning missing pets to their families.

“When my family adopted our rescue dog, Abbot, our lives changed for the better. The thought of losing our furry family member is unthinkable, which is why I’m so glad we were able to microchip Abbot. Now if he ever got lost or stolen, his microchip would help us find him again. I want other families to feel that same sense of security,” said Congressman Lieu. “I’m pleased to introduce The Keeping Pets and Families Together Act to fund microchipping services in animal shelters. With this legislation, we can help lost pets find their ways back home.”

According to the American Humane Association, roughly one-third of all pets will become lost at some point in their lifetime, and many of those animals end up in shelters. However, a study by the American Veterinary Medical Association found that almost three-fourths of all lost or stolen animals with microchips are located and many eventually reunited with their families.

Support for this legislation:

“When a lost pet enters a shelter, a microchip can mean the difference between a joyful reunion and a permanent loss. The Keeping Pets and Families Together Act will help more pets return to their loving homes, spare families the heartbreak of separation, and provide shelters with the resources they need to reconnect animals with the people who love them,” said Judie Mancuso, Founder and President, Social Compassion in Legislation

We are so saddened to hear of Little Boogie Shoes’ passing. He was such an inspiration, reminding us all to keep going no matter the challenges. He touched so many hearts, and he will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family—both two-legged and four-legged—as they navigate this difficult time. May the memories of his strength, spirit, and love bring comfort in the days ahead.

Hello dear friends, we just wanted to share that our sweet Little Boogie passed at 3:00 am on Sunday morning. He gave it all he had, springing back to life every few hours to eat nannas, but in the end his heart just gave out. He went peacefully on his own and was not in pain. Mama and Dad were continuously by his side, taking turns holding him and giving him comfort.

Our home will never be the same. Mama and Dad are completely devastated. Boogie has been a cornerstone of our lives his entire life, almost 11 years. He was Mama’s sweet little baby and Daddy’s best buddy ever. During that time we were always together, 24/7. The pack is taking this very hard, because little Boogie was the pack leader. This is especially impacting Mr. Bus, as Boggie was not only his couch-mate during the day, he looked up to Boogie. We are all struggling to find our way forward.

We will try our best to be back soon with more. 🐾 🌈

~ The Mama, Dad, Mr. Sesame, Buster, and Miss Apple.
