21. Having tags and a microchip is so important!

I have four “foster fail” dogs and am taking a break from rescue myself. So thank you for all you have done and your commitment to these animals. It’s so sad that society doesn’t provide more help when it is am irresponsible society that creates the problem of pet overpopulation.

I can’t tell you how frustrating it is finding a dog or a cat and then not having any identification. What it does to the Rescuer is have to jump through a lot of hoops and effort to post and put the word out when a simple name tag with a phone number, makes it a two minute effort to reunite the Pet with their family.

And as Bob Barker famously said over and over, “make sure to spay and neuter your pet”! I would add “adopt don’t shop”. We have to drastically curtail the breeding industry.
