Home at last: 150 pets returned home after hurricane

More than 150 pets have been reunited with their families since Lost Pet Services Inc. hopped on the job after Hurricane Ian blew through the area during the last week of September. 

LPS, a nonprofit, has been providing services to Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. The organization has a big reach on Facebook under the group name Lost and Found Pets 941 (Lost Pet Services) with more than 43,600 followers, which helps share posts and match found pets to lost pet posts.
