Have you chipped your dog?

[kap]

if a microchipped dog is lost and found by an animal shelter/rescue the org will be able to contact the pet owner. That is IF the org even bothers to scan the imbedded microchip and make the necessary phone call. Some animal shelter/rescue orgs leave the responsibility to find the lost pet solely to the owner. The problem compounds when the information on the chip is outdated.

There is supposed to be a website dedicated to LOST and FOUND pet but I haven't tried to look up one yet.
