Found Dog: ? on locating owners by rabies tag #

Good Moooooooorning ladies...Happy Friday!

Question...does the law record which animal is registered to a rabies tag number?

A coworker found a little dog with no name tag, but does have a rabies tag #...is there somewhere we can call to try to see if we can locate the owners by just the rabies tag?

Re: Found Dog: ? on locating owners by rabies tag #

  • All rabies tags I've seen have the vet office's name or number on it. Does the tag on the lost dog?

    Also, she should bring the stray to any vet office and ask them to scan him/her for a microchip.

  • Call the vet clinic listed on the tag. They keep records. We found owners of two strays like this last year.
  • It looks like it is breeder information, but no number, just the name of a the facility.

     

    I will google them and try to start there since she won't be able to bring the pup to the vet to get scanned until after work...thanks ladies!

  • It has breeder information? That doesn't sound like a legitimate rabies tag then. Weird. Definitely start with the google machine to help you. Maybe he is chipped too.

    Exactly my thought! A rabies tag will have the clinic or hospital name and phone number, year the vaccine was given as well as the rabies tag # on it. It will look something like this (could be different shape or color obviously).

    Has your friend called the city police and animal control to check if anyone has reported a missing dog? I would do that today and then after work run the dog to ANY vet office to have them scan the dog for a chip. Make sure they scan the whole body, not just between the shoulder blades as sometimes the chips move.

  • Not all counties require rabies to be vet administered. The tags that come with the shots you buy do not have clinic info. In that case it won't help you find them but it doesn't mean it's invalid.
  • Thanks ladies!
