Anyone lost or know anyone who's lost a black dog. Found on its own down by river hyndburn near rishton waterfalls, no collar on. Will try and upload a pic.

Unfortunately, I've had to leave him at the stray dogs in need kennels in Ossy, just no room at home for another dog.

I thought this thread was about a pub.

I thought this thread was about a pub.

.. and I thought it was in reference to Churchill's mental state.

Is it a dog or a bitch? Hope the owner gets reunited with their dog.

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

I hope the little dog is soon back home.....where it belongs.

Dog.

What a shame somebody must be looking for him

He looks a lovely little chap, I hope he's soon home.

Ah bless, hope he's reunited with his family soon

i think its best to take it to the lost dogs home as they will hopefully make sure they can prove they are the owner and not someone wanting it for horrible reasons


its a pitty they dont make microchipping dogs compulsary it would work better and faster than the old dog licence and get dogs back to tehir owners faster

Compulsory microchipping is coming in.

Compulsory microchipping is coming in.

Only helps reunite if the dog is found alive and taken to vet/dog home, as in this case.

Not much good if it's been stolen.

Dog thieves are getting wise to the microchip. They do their own scan, and if a chip is found, they kill the dog and cut out the chip.

When we had our dogs chipped, I don't recall the vet scanning them first to see if there was a chip already there. What happens with the scan if "new" owners put a second chip in there?

 

[maxthecollie]

If a dog goes for a second chip, I'm sure whoever does the chipping will scan the dog first and if a chip is found they will be able to trace the owner. The chip details of our Max are held on petlog database. When we moved house we had to inform petlog of our new address so they could update their details.His chip details are now altered.

Just because something is "compulsory" doesn't mean that it will get done ... that's why there are threads about the way people park and drive. Chipping may be one way to go; but there is no substitute for taking good care of one's best buddy. My scruffy little munchkin never ever goes anywhere without me ... She's deaf; so, I can't call her ... but even if she weren't, she would never be out of my sight.

That hasn't been my experience. The vet who did our pups three years ago just injected the chip without an initial scan. If we'd stolen them, there would be two chips in there.

He did scan afterwards to verify the one he'd just inserted could be read.. I'm intrigued as to how the software and hardware would have dealt with it if there had been two chips being in there...

There is no requirement for vets, Police, Highways Agency or whoever else to scan a found dog to try and alert the owners it has been found live or dead. This will still be the case when compulsory microchipping comes in (next year I think)
