cooperlola Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Sorry, this is not a helpful post for the poor dog but I am constantly surprised (and a little disturbed) by the fact that pets with microchips are so often untraceable. I always thought that was the point, and one of the platforms upon which these things are sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Like anything cooperlola, only as good as the operator...[8-)] if the owners don't choose to update the details when they move........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Assuming they have moved. The lack of a joined up system means you can tell it's a UK chip, but cannot access directly any details about the owner's address. Are there any details about the owner's name available?

Merlin Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 OMG will you look at that poor dog!! It's just disgraceful and so very heartbreaking. S*d the owners, what about helping the dog?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 [quote user="andyh4"]Are there any details about the owner's name available?[/quote]That's what I'm trying to find out, but she will now have to go through the pound procedure (as written under the ad) and after ten days if they have room be handed over to the local SPA for adoption. I'll follow her up.I put her on here in the hope of perhaps being able to trace the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Just received her microchip number. They say she is very old.It doesn't come out on Google, so noone has put it in a lost ad.Europetnet don't have it either, but are going to make enquiries:"The microchip number you are looking for has not been found. Check microchip ID number length (must be 15 for ISO transponders, 10 or 12 for old types). If length is correct, please let us know which country you are from and your email address.We will forward your request to microchip manufacturer & EPN members. We will let you know the inquiry results as soon as possible.""If you do not receive an answer in the following 10 days this would mean that we overcame the investigation capacity of our organisation.Our investigation capacity is limited because all European databanks are not yet members of our organisation and because all microchips distributors do not yet inform us completely about the selling places of their product.We are working on obtaining their collaboration."

Christine Animal Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 The chip number starts by 985.Does that look like a British number to you because I see in the Europetnet search they haven't covered Spain? Edit: I'll answer my own question as I've found the chip number of an English dog we took in and it starts by 985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda 61 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Is there not some way of finding out WHERE the vet was based when the chip was inserted in the UK? Remember there was a dog with a British chip some months ago who was found wandering (Bordeaux area?) and everyone searched for the owners? Typical.. I can't remember the final outcome! But in that aforementioned example the vet was able to give a name and address...albeit the people had moved but there are enough of us here in the UK to do their 'Miss Marples' or 'Kojak' bit and attempt to hunt down the original owners..presuming they want their dear old dog back! Lets hope they are searching for their pet...but unsure how to do it! Lets help find THEM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm all choked up, I've just spoken to Zoe's owner, that's her name!Originally the ad was sent to me by a member of Rescue, knowing that I deal with the English. I immediately put it on here and on AngloInfo in the hope of finding the owner.Her time was up at the fourrière yesterday, but my friend Nadine Boissout, Présidente of the SPA Mornac, got her out at my request and she has since been taken care of at their infirmary.Her owners have been looking for her everywhere for two weeks. At their local mairie, the village where she was found, they didn't even tell them to contact the fourrière. By chance Maria went on to AngloInfo today and saw her dog! She is going to collect her tomorrow morning.Zoe is sixteen years old and very much loved. They are now going to see that her chip is registered here.

Christine Animal Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wait a minute. The fairy tale hasn't ended yet!Zoe was with another poor girl at Mornac who had been rescued the day before yesterday from a house where her owner had "forgotten" her. I'll say no more, here's her photo.When Maria saw her this morning, she took them both home!Ain't that just wonderful. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
