If your dog is microchipped-we need you!
How would you feel if you lost your dog and no-one bothered to check if found dogs were yours?
These are my boys - if I lost them I'd be lost too! When I took them on as adult rescues no-one asked any questions or scanned them. What if they had been stolen and sold to me? One simple scan would have found the owner - yet that scan never took place!
Please sign the petition!
PLEASE SIGN (if you are in agreement) AND CROSSPOST.
THANKS.
Dolly's Directive
In 205, Dolly Mixture, a microchipped Jack Russell Terrier disappeared without a trace. Her owner, Mrs Candy King searched for her loyal companion, and soon learnt of the inadequacies within the microchipping system.
THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO ROUTINELY SCAN PETS FOR MICROCHIPS
Candy was determined to do something about this loop-hole in the much promoted microchipping system. Supported by DogLost, Dolly's Directive was launched.
The directive requests routine and compulsory scanning of all dogs, new and existing, by all organisations that come into contact with dogs such as vets, police, stray dog kennels, re-homing centres and any other animal welfare charities.
If you have microchipped pets - this affects you!
