Campaign for microchipping - Dolly's Directive

After the disappearance a year ago, of her beloved Jack Russell Terrier Dolly, Candy King has fought to get all dogs routinely scanned for microchips at veterinary establishments, rescue centres, police stations etc. Candy, supported by Doglost, have launched Dolly's Directive. Here Candy explains-

There are many dogs on the Doglost website that are permanently identifiable either by microchip or tattoo, yet they are still missing.  We want it to be compulsory for all organisations coming into contact with dogs to scan for microchips and check for tattoos (vets, police, dog pounds, re-homing centres, charities etc). This to include existing and new dogs handled by above mentioned organisations.  Many stolen/missing dogs would be re-united with their grieving owners if this were the case.  Surely a ‘Duty of Care’ is owed to anyone that permanently identifies their pet. This is currently not the case!

Such is her frustration with the current system that she has decided to start Dolly’s Directive

She cannot fight this battle alone and desperately needs your help.

There are 3 ways to obtain a copy of the directive.
