I am so sorry you lost August. I cannot comprehend the grief of losing our baby daisy. Where do you live? Is it an everyday normal city?
I think the economy may have a hand in this. Perhaps there is a market for corgis. Was August just a pup?
daisy wont even go out to wee without me with her so I guess I should be thankful.
Again I am so sorry. Wonder if you are in the northern ca area and if I should be looking?

I'm so sorry for your loss, and your comments on the GPS system are interesting. I thought about a GPS collar for our dog, and realized that the GPS unit is attached to the collar and removeable. Realistically, if someone wanted to, they could just cut the collar off the dog and drop the GPS unit. The main reason I chose not to get one for our dog.

From my understanding about the id chips, most vets and animal shelters has universal scanners that read any of the id chips, irregardless of the company the chip came from. Both the local shelters and a few of the vets in our area confirmed this. My question originated because our two cats were chipped at different vets, and our dog was chipped prior to the breeder that we bought her from (the breeder didn't know that she was chipped at all). Our dog's chip is originally registered to a vet's office in Oregon.
So, theorhetically any shelter or vet's office can scan our dog or cat and as long as we keep our registration current and notify them and the original 'chipping' office (vet's) of our current address and contact info, they should be able to help get our animals back to us.

You might try blasting the vets and shelters in your area, and however far you can manage timewise, with the chip number and your contact info, plus a photo to see if anyone has seen your loved pet.
