PSA - JUNE 26, 2020
· June 26 ·
Hi everyone, this post is a little different from our usual posts but it speaks to the importance of a licence, microchip or tattoo identification. This sweet girl was reported missing in another province on June 19, 2020.
For the purpose of our file, we will be vague on some of the details. We will not be disclosing any other information regarding this file.
This cutie was taken to a local Penticton veterinary clinic for a medical checkup. The individual who found her decided they wanted to keep her so they wanted a veterinarian to look her over. During the exam, they conveyed they had found the dog in another province and said it was a stray only wearing a collar, so they took it.
The collar they showed the veterinarian had a dog licence on it. The dog was now wearing a new harness that had a new name tag with a new name on it.
The veterinary clinic contacted us right away and we have since seized the dog and spoken with the owner who has been looking for their dog since June 19, 2020. The owner will be leaving for Penticton tomorrow.
We hope that this post helps show the importance of having licence identification or permanent identification on your dog.
Also, we can't stress enough how important it is to contact your local Animal Control to report a dog you have found.
