[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 365199, member: 1233"] What a lucky doxie!! They make great family members, in my opinion. Checking for a chip is an excellent idea. You might want to call animal control or the humane society to see if anyone has posted about a lost dog. Around here if you find a stray and decide to keep him animal control will often pay for all or part of spaying or neutering. They also may do the first shots and wormer for free or very little. It is NOT advertised or even talked of much but they would rather do that than have you drop the animal off or call them to come and get it. They will also scan Oscar for free for the chip. (I found this out when we got Capn Morgan because another lady was asking about it.) Getting the chip status checked out is crucial. It would break your heart to learn about it in a few weeks or months. Getting him chipped is usually inexpensive and is a great idea. Even if you don't pay the maintenance fees to keep your address updated in the database the chip will still have your name and address and vet listed. If you don't move the address you gave when the chip is inserted will stay in the database forever. If you do move, the vet will have the new address and if the dog is ever scanned they will call the vet. I have always wanted to chip my kids. It just seems strange to me that we spend money chipping pets and even livestock but our kids cannot be chipped. I know all the arguments about privacy and freedom etc... I still want my kids to be chipped. They can take them out when they are grandparents. I would have it done myself if it would make my loved ones feel better. I have a friend who tried really hard to get her kids chipped. One of her friends is a veterinary surgeon. It took a couple of years for the vet friend to convince my other friend that it is illegal for her to chip her kids. Enjoy Oscar and give him a belly rub and ear scratch and a nice chew chip and a snuggle and a treat from his Auntie Susie! Auntie Susie wuvs her Oscar doggie, yesh she does Oscar is such a sweetie doggie! [/QUOTE]
