Scanner Appeal
Over
the past year DTA has received a positive response from charities that are keen
to warn dog owners of the dangers of dog theft. Discussions with some welfare
and rescue charities have shown that there is a willingness and enthusiasm to
microchip dogs before they are rehomed. However DTA has also stressed the need
to scan ALL dogs for microchips prior to rehoming. It is vital that stray and
donated dogs are scanned for microchips as they may actually be stolen dogs
from a different part of the country whose owners are desperately searching
for them. To make this process easier DTA will fundraise at dog shows like Discover
Dogs and Crufts in order to purchase scanners that can, in turn be offered to
deserving organisations, free of charge.
Nice
to scan you - to scan you nice! (DTA
