Scanner Appeals

Dog Theft Action's Scanner Appeal: `Over the past year DTA has received a positive response from charities that are keen to warn dog owners of the dangers of dog theft. Discussions with some welfare and rescue charities have shown that there is a willingness and enthusiasm to microchip dogs before they are rehomed. However DTA has also stressed the need to scan ALL dogs for microchips prior to rehoming. It is vital that stray and donated dogs are scanned for microchips as they may actually be stolen dogs from a different part of the country whose owners are desperately searching for them. To make this process easier DTA will fundraise at dog shows like Discover Dogs and Crufts in order to purchase scanners that can, in turn be offered to deserving organisations, free of charge.'

Animal rescue centres having and using scanners is just as important for cats as for dogs – please support this appeal.

My Moggy is selling trolley tokens for a Scanner Appeal too.

Please support My Moggy too!

We are looking for good suggestions for how to persuade local councils of the vital need to scan animals found dead on the road and how to support local councils in so doing by providing scanners, training and backup. Jester's Law is one approach. Please contact us with others suggestions or tell us about campaigns that have already been launched.
