Homeward Bound: First Responders Reunite Lost Pets | Virginia Beach News
Description
James City County’s new Homeward Bound program is revolutionizing how lost pets are reunited with owners—by arming first responders with slip leashes and microchip scanners in patrol cars. Inspired by animal advocate Linda Icenhour, the initiative lets officers safely secure stray animals on the spot, bypassing delays for animal control. With shift supervisors also getting scanners, reunions could go from hours to minutes. Backed by Heritage Humane Society and Virginia Animal Protection Group, this simple yet powerful tool aims to bring pets and families back together faster than ever.
