MICROCHIPS--HAVE YOU CHECKED LATELY?

THIS IS IMPORTANT.   

FOR THOSE WHO ADOPTED FROM US, PLEASE CHECK YOUR DOG'S MICROCHIP.  IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, EMAIL US AT POTOMACPEKES@GMAIL.COM.    JEANNE'S NAME WAS THE CONTACT ON SOME OF THESE CHIPS AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON THE CHIP CONTACT LIST.  JEANNE'S NUMBER AND CONTACT (IF IT WAS OTHER THAN OUR CLUB EMAIL) WILL NO LONGER WORK.   WE HAVE TRANSFERRED SOME OF THE CHIPS OR ADDED YOUR NAME.  BUT PLEASE CHECK.   WE HAVE SO MANY AND ARE TRYING TO UPDATE, BUT WE CANNOT DO IT ALL.  TAKE YOUR DOG TO YOUR VET, HAVE THE CHIP SCANNED AND GET THE NUMBER AND COMPANY.   MAKE SURE YOUR INFORMATION IS LISTED.   THANK YOU!!

 Bing (formerly Chauncey) was microchipped when he came into rescue.   We do that on each dog we get.  If they already have a microchip, we make sure it's changed to our name.   We want to have current information on all our dogs contact info.

 My Max has a microchip (of course he does!) and we check his chip every year to make sure it is still there.  Microchips have been know to migrate under the skin-- and some have even come out.  It's rare, but it can happen. 

 Tara has a chip-- she was adopted, so her new owners information is on the contact info along with ours.   It's good to have several names listed.   

 Percy was adopted from us by Ida.  His mom is on the ball making sure all her dogs are cared for extremely well.   You know she makes sure his microchip information is current.

Rosie is content and happy and knows she is safe.  Her chances of getting lost are slim-- but it can happen.  That's why we keep names tags and phone numbers on our dogs.  Please check on your dogs' microchip.  Make it a priority.
