Glad it worked out with only tags.
Over 90% of pets running loose are NOT wearing a collar when found. Make sure you chip them.
True story of how well a chip can work: When I was an animal control officer I got a call in my zone of a dog running loose. I arrived at the scene in less than ten minutes. Contained the dog, read the chip with reader on my truck.
Called dispatch and they called the chip company. The dog was missing from an address right around the corner. Drove there and knocked on the door. I asked the owner if she knew where her dog was.
“On the back porch.” She replied. I asked her to check and she returned in a minute with a white face and said:” He’s gone!” I replied: “I know. He is in my truck.”
The total time the dog was lost? About 15 minutes! I did not ticket the owner.
Please chip your dogs. Chips do not get lost.
