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!

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

Show your support to this directive, it will only take a few minutes of your time, complete the online petition today.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/dollysdirective/

This petition closes on 11th July 2008 - make sure your voice is heard.

Thank You!

Signed.
Completely agree that it should be a legal requirement for all vets, wardens and rescues etc to scan as routine.

My vet does routinely scan in case of theft or to make sure adopted rescue dogs don`t have a chip which may have been... missed... when the dog was picked up by warden or rescue and has happily scanned every stray/lost dog I have ever taken in for a chip check.

We have supplied out local council with a scanner to scan cats that have been knocked down but they still wont.
where did you get them from, they normally scan on arrive to the centre.

It's a cause worth spamming about even if the OP was spamming, which I appreciate he wasn't.

I've signed, I think it's a vital piece of legislation. Beautiful pic of your dogs too.

signed, but would also like to add, all our rehoming co-ordinators have scanners and scan dogs that come in certainly from pounds, and di actually manage to trace one owner, he didn't want the dog back, but at least we tried
