Losing your dog could be a very sad experience. Dogs are more than just pets; they are also our guardians and our companions. It is said that dogs are more loyal than other animals and are in fact, even more loyal than most of us; hence, a dog is considered as man’s best friend.

No matter how we try to keep our dogs always within sight, however, they sometimes go astray. Chances are, without any form of identification, they may not be returned by those who find them and they might be gone for good. This is where the importance of a dog identification tag comes in. Since your dog cannot speak for himself, its dog identification tag shall tell the finder where to return your lost dog.

A typical dog identification tag is a flat metal tag attached to the collar, chain, rope or harness worn by the dog around its neck. It usually displays the name of the owner, his contact number or his address. It’s used to easily and quickly notify the owner when the dog is found.

In UK, affixing a dog identification tag on the dog’s collar is a legal duty. A Control of Dog Order was issued in 1992 which required all dog owners to fix on their dog a collar with a dog identification tag on it whenever it is in public places such as a public road or a public resort. The dog identification tag must have pertinent information such as the name of the dog, and the name and address of the owner so the dog can be easily and quickly returned to the owner when lost. These pieces of information may also be engraved on the collar itself or on a plate attached to the collar. A violation of such law would cost you £2,000.

There are also exemptions to the Control of Dog Order of 1992. Not covered by the legislation are the following:

a. dogs that are officially used on by armed forces, HM Customs & Excise or the police b. dogs that are used in sport events c. dogs that are used in capturing and destroying vermin d. dogs that are used to drive or tend sheep e. dogs that are used by blind people to guide them f. dogs that are used in rescuing in the event of emergencies

In the US, using dog identification tags is not obligatory; however, many dog-friendly organizations recommend the use of such tag. Moreover, most Americans, dog lovers as they are (American Veterinary Medical Association 54% of all households in the US have at least one pet dog; 47% of them consider their pets as members of the family), feel and understand the need of using dog identification tags.

As an alternative to dog identification tags, some dog owners prefer to have their dogs tattooed as collars and dog id tags may also be lost. Today, with the emergence and advancement of RFID technology, it’s already possible to implant microchip with control numbers under the dog’s skin. This makes tracking for a lost dog easier and faster.

Patient Paws asked:


I have a bit of a dilemma. Nova is an 8 year old APBT Puppy Mill rescue. As you can imagine, she was kept in cramped conditions and is now terrified of going into small, closed spaces.

I’ve found that I absolutely can not leave her home alone as she takes her stress out on my carpets, couches, cabinets and trash cans. I tried introducing an open crate to her, but she came within 2 feet and ********.

I don’t want to put her outside (its getting VERY cold) and I can’t leave her inside my apartment without being crated or she’ll tear the whole of my house up and ingest something that could harm her.

What can I do to get her to trust the crate?

My mother just lost her pekingese (Lu- Lu) last month after 15 years of having her and she is just devasted. I have NEVER seen my mother so heart broken. At first, she said she didn’t want anothere dog, because no other dog could replace her. Lu-Lu was her secured sense of companionship at home. She had asked me this morning if maybe she should get another dog for the companionship that she is missing. She had Lu-Lu cremated and has her ashes on her fireplace in an urn next to a picture just to show you how she felt about her. I think it may help to fill the void that she feels, so I looked for a pet rescue center and can’t find one. She said she would like to have another pekingese but would also take a tshih-zuh because they are related.
Are you aware of any rescue centers in Monroe County, Illinois or do you know of any websites that I can look into?
I appreciate any information you could provide.

alled German Shepherds were first exhibited at shows in Germany towards the end of the nineteenth century but they were hardly Shepherds as we know them today being rough coated, short tailed and rather resembling mongrels. The German Shepherd Dog as we now know it didn’t really appear until after the Second World War.

The breed has grown enormously in popularity and is now one of the most popular pedigree breeds in the UK as a pet, it is still the favourite working breed for many forces especially the police and they are widely used for security purposes.

It is a fine sight to see a well-trained GSD with his handler, working well to serve and protect. Unfortunately one of the saddest sites is the poor GSD used to guard premises often chained up alone in some dismal filthy yard with a lifetime of incarceration and little stimulation to look forward to.

The German Shepherd is a highly intelligent beast who will show undying devotion to his master but he is a dog that needs company and stimulation to be at his best.

If you are thinking of buying a German Shepherd as a pet and you have not previously owned one, it is important to research the breed and talk to experienced owners so that you fully understand what you are taking on.
GSD’s do indeed make wonderful family pets but it is important to remember that this is a working breed and that they do have certain characteristics that can make them more difficult than your average Retriever, Labrador or Collie.

The characteristics of a good working GSD should be firmness of nerve, attentiveness, unshockability, tractability, watchfulness, reliability, and incorruptibility together with courage tenacity and hardness.
A German Shepherd is naturally protective and territorial which is something to bear in mind if you have lots of visitors to your house when careful introduction may be required to assure your pet that the visitor is not a threat to his family.

This is also a breed that requires a lot of time, stimulation, training and exercise – you will never wear them out, they will always be ready for more. A bored, lonely GSD can be very destructive and can cause an awful lot of damage to property in a short space of time.

Perhaps some of the less endearing traits of this breed are the tendency to be very vocal which can be a big nuisance and may be a problem with neighbours. They also shed hair in copious amounts all year round so your vacuum cleaner will work overtime and it’s unlikely that your clothes and furnishings will ever be free of dogs hairs again as well as what you are eating invariably being contaminated with that stray hairs.

The biggest problem with the German Shepherd Dog is the fact that to a large extent the breed is being spoilt by irresponsible breeding by inexperienced back street breeders who care nothing about preserving the breed but only about making money from the selling of puppies, Health and temperament problems are all too common, so it is important to take expert advice and try and find a reputable source if you are contemplating buying a puppy.

Consider first taking on a rescue German Shepherd Dog from a reputable rescue that should be able to give you a good assessment of a particular dog. Remember too that an older GSD will be a very rewarding addition to the family and will be housetrained, won’t chew, well behaved, probably require less exercise than a young dog and will be very loyal and grateful.

JustBlah asked:


Hi when we got our puppy we saw him advertised on a web site, and since then we have seen the lady advertise about 4 other sets of puppies. When we went and picked the puppy up she had it inside like that was where she kept the puppies so I never thought to look around to see if she had other puppies. Well we made a suprise visit out to this ladies home and we acted like we were interested in getting another puppy to go along with the one we already got and then I heard dog barking in the back (a lot) so I helped myself to her backyard. There I found about 15 dogs, some puppies, some adults. there was two dog houses and thats it, I saw no food or water, and half of them were fighting pretty rough. Than she revealed that 4 of the dogs are pregnant! We live in Northern wisconsin, and it gets to be below freezing at night now and I know they are never inside because she lives in a single wide trailor. I need help on what to do! We have no such thing as animal control in my town.
She recently started advertising that she is a dog rescue, she puts these ads on the internet. In the ad it states she will come to pick the dogs up even to save people a trip, but its because they don’t want anyone to see her nastly house! Is there laws against this? We have a humane society but thats it, we don’t have animal control that goes in and can take the animals. Who do I contact.

I KNOW THESE DOGS ARE NOT BEING TREATED GOOD!

My family is looking to rescue a lab or chow (those are the traits we want in our dog) puppy from our local animal shelters, or even just a mix! As long as it’s not a small dog.

I’ve been looking all over New England using Petfinder.com and other sites, and I can’t find any. I went to some local shelters and they have no puppies either.

Also, I want to find high kill shelters around New England but they’re not listed.

And are there any shelters that ship their puppies if you want to adopt out of state? Many of these shelters won’t even let us adopt if we live too far. I know they want to find good homes for their animals, but we can give them a 14 year referral from our vet!
Oh, and the reason we need a puppy is because we already have another dog who we rescued when he was 1 and he was abused so now he has some emotional issues. So we want a puppy because our dog will adapt to him better if we get the new dog young (vet recommended it)
And the New Hampshire shelters don’t adopt to Rhode Island residence
