Guest Anonymous Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 My dog got out of the backyard today, and she doesn't have her ID tags on, because she just got a bath.What can I do besides trying to find her on the road? Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted April 22, 2002 Posted April 22, 2002 Would it be OK to put ads near our neighborhood so if someone had our dog, they could call us or something?Are we allowed to do that? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Shelters get so many animals daily the best thing to do is take them a picture of your dog. Include your name and phone number on the picture. Yes it is okay to place ads in the paper!! If it is an unaltered male look at homes of any female dogs you know of in the area and let people around know he is gone. Post flyers in stores if you can with your phone number and a description of your dog. State that he is friendly( or not) his name and you miss him. Sooner you can do this the better!! Good Luck. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Jacsmom on 2002-04-23 06:05 ]</font> Quote

Shannon_C Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Hi there I do hope you find your pet, it seems you have had your question answered so i will just say that when you find your dog (not only have your dog tagged but also have him microchipped and neutered) when he comes home. I had this happen to my 13 year old Westie cross once, he was only a year old and he got out the back garden. I immediately phoned all the rescues and the vet just incase, i had to wait a while then a phonecall from the RSPCA had a dog bought in (that answered to my dogs discription) so i went to see and it was my baby....apparently a man had found him and took him there. (I say how kind of this man) I just hope that someone as done the same for your beloved pet, the reason i mentioned having your dog microchipped than just tagged is because Patch my Westie cross had a barrel on his collar but it was missing, and also having him neatured would stop your dog running away again....he is probably after a female. I have all 3 of my dogs tagged, microchipped, and neautered now! Hope you find him soon...by the way what breed is he, discription, and where are you located please ? I will try and locate rescues in your area as all information will also be on the net of any dogs found. Good Luck! Shannon, Bullmastiff Owner, Researcher/Adviser of the breed. Lover of all Animals!

Guest Anonymous Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 I would microchip my dog if it was possible, but I don't know the cost, where to do it, and how.Plz can somebody tell me? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 26, 2002 Posted April 26, 2002 Talk to your vet about the best kind micochip. The problem is there are several types and you need a chip reader that will match your chip. I'm so glad to hear your dog is back safe. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 26, 2002 Posted April 26, 2002 Actually you don't need a reader for the chip as long as your vet and the local shelters have one and many of the readers are supplied free to shelters!

Shannon_C Posted April 26, 2002 Posted April 26, 2002 I am so glad that your dog is safely back home with you....You can get your dog microchipped by your vet, the price averages from Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 30, 2002 Posted April 30, 2002 I am SO glad you got your baby back!! One other suggestion - the microchipping is a good idea - providing the area you live in has the readers and such. But another thought is the name tags - I have found that the "S" rings they use to attach them are not sturdy, especially if they get in a tussle. They can pull loose and open. I have my dogs tagged with thick sturdy key-rings. They dont open or bend as easily as the "S" rings and they last practically forever. These are the rings that you have to thread the key through two layers until it's sitting squarely in the middle. My female has lost three tags playing with the male, until I attached them with the key rings. Good luck! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 1, 2002 Posted May 1, 2002 The cost of microchipping should not be prohibitive...think it was about $40.00 for me. Suggestion...find a vet in a small town..lots of time they are cheaper and for something like this...you could perhaps drive out and use them. If the cost is too much...perhaps you could explore a tatto. Quote
