    That is a great idea. I believe in more than one way to find the human for the dog.

    Gus has his dog license tag that he can be tracked to his foster people with that know how to get a hold of me. He also has a tag with his name, my cell number, and email address. It also says “Los Angeles Westside” since the (310) area is so big at least they’ll have an idea of where he belongs. In addition, he’s got a microchip. I know anything is possible, but my sweetie won’t be outrunning me anytime soon. When we do take him in the hills on hikes, he is always on a leash. You just don’t let a bloodhound go off-leash in the mountains if you want to see him again.

    Our dogs came with a tag from the humane society that tracks them back to us, on top of mine and my husby’s #’s and our vets. THEY AINT GETTIN A WAY FROM US!
    What do you think about the microchips?

    I think microchipping is a good idea, but in addition to a collar with ID tags. Most people look for ID tags first and if they see a dog without a collar they assume it’s a stray and won’t think to check for the microchip.

    Some of our tags have 2 numbers.. some only have 1. However, I recently switched cell numbers and so my collie rescue tags have our home number and my old cell. Hrmph. It’s good to have two numbers for sure. My old cell is with my parents’ tho, so that’s okay.

    I need a whole round of new tags I think!

    Yup, the microchip for Gus is a backup and I would never depend on it solely.

    Good point. I’m embarrassed to admit that Biggie doesn’t have an ID tag. He is microchipped and has a rabies tag and dog license that goes back to our addresses, emails and multiple phone ##.

    I really should get him an ID tag, even though everyone in the neighborhood knows who he is and he would never run away. And no one would try to steal him, ha ha. He’s a little visible.

    That being said, he should get an ID tag nonetheless.

    my dogs name, my cell # and home # are engraved on their id tags. They also wear a microchip tag, dog license which both have id numbers and numbers to call which have alt contact numbers. They are all microchipped and I can manage contact numbers on line.

    The more numbers/tags the more lifelines I always say.
