Vanessa Williams’ lost dog cause

Vanessa Williams has a new cause thanks to her two-week dog-gone ordeal earlier this summer. Her one-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Enzo, went missing from the family’s Chappaqua home while the actress and her kids were out shopping. The dog was eventually found, which Williams credits to the fact that it was outfitted with a microchip. A nearby veterinarian scanned Enzo and found the chip.
And now Williams is teaming up with HomeAgain, makers of the pooch tracker-chips, to encourage other pet owners to get their dogs and cats implanted. It may not be the sexiest cause celebre, but hey, she seems sincere about it.
“When Enzo was lost it was incredibly stressful, and I learned during my own experience that unfortunately 95 percent of the 135 million cats and dogs in the United States are not protected with this simple, inexpensive technology that saves pets’ lives,” Williams said in a press release for the company. “When I received the phone call saying Enzo had been found, I was over the moon—and so thankful that I had taken the safety precaution of having Enzo chipped and enrolled in HomeAgain at my vet’s office shortly after he joined our family.”
