Social Media Site Reunites Lost Dogs With Their Owners

Sammie the dog was left in a pen or chained up constantly in harsh weather in a St. Louis neighborhood. Fed up with seeing the dog suffer, Megan posted on Nextdoor, asking for help. Several people wrote back offering suggestions and advice.

Together, they were able to convince Sammie's owner to release her to a foster home where she is being taken care of now.

Sammie is now on the mend, Megan said. “Thanks to Nextdoor, we opened up a huge network of people who could help Sammie.”
