No, I promised Sammy that I wouldn't get any more dogs after his pit bull incident.Quote:

Our vet was still closed, so I couldn't take her there to see if she was chipped, so I ended up taking her to animal control only to see if she was chipped. I wasn't going to leave her there if she wasn't. Low and behold, she was chipped!!!! :D :D :D
They said they would find her owner and reunite them. I ended up leaving her there since they had her owner's information.
She was so sweet. She did calm down last night and only wanted to be held. Maggy wasn't crazy about that and got very jealous. Sammy stayed fluffed all night and Payton was very curious. Hubby wasn't too thrilled, but who cares about him, right? ;)
She didn't want to stay in the porch last night and kept leaping the baby gate, so I crated her and she didn't make a peep all night. She was happy to go for the ride this morning. If I didn't leave her at animal control, I was going to keep her here at work with me.
I'm so excited that she was chipped and she'll find her mommy. She is so sweet. I'm guessing that she is very loved and missed, and will be reunited soon.
Good luck little girl!
How wonderful! Can you check back with the vet and find out for sure she was reunited with her owner? Please let us know, if you can!
Your experience makes a good case for micro-chipping, doesn't it? I'll look into it, for sure!
Awesome! Yeah, please do check back so that we all will know when she goes home! Did you leave your information with them in case the owners weren't found or, worse case, they don't want her back? I hope little girl gets home safely! Did you find out her name? I can't remember if that's part of the microchip information! :)

* Her Infrmation/Data may not be current in the Chip database
* She may not have a license - which can create more problems
* She may get "lost" in the Shelter
I'm suprised AC didn't call in her "Chip Number" while you were there and then
give you her owner's name and phone number.
She may still be "at risk" if the AC either can't contact her owner OR they will
levy a "fine" for her running loose or not having a license.
Ask AC if they will give you her owner's phone so you can check that she
really did "get home" all safe & sound.
I couldn't sleep without talking to her owner.

I can try to find out but some places don't like giving out that information once you've surrendered to them. They do have all of my information, however.
The only thing that came up on her chip was a number. They have to trace it from there.
I'm confident that she'll find her home. She was obviously very spoiled. She knew how to get in the car, sat on my lap and looked at me like, "come on, I'm ready."
Such a little sweetie.
I'll do just that, Phred.Quote:
