There are three types of microchips for dogs which use different frequencies. Be sure that the scanner you use to scan a dog for a microchip is a universal scanner and will pick up all three frequencies of microchip. Many shelters or humane groups purchase a scanner which is aligned with the chips they dispense or use but does not pick up all three frequencies. I had our greyhound microchipped with a new microchip some years ago, took him to the vet, and they could not find any chip. They had a dedicated scanner which just did not pick up the "European" frequency chip. Had he been lost, our vet would have said he had no microchip, when he actually had a new microchip.
If the dog is well cared for it may be worth double checking this dog with a universal scanner.
BTW, if a dog has a microchip, the chip has to be registered or it is a long haul to find the owner. Send me a private message if you need help on this.
