Your pets need ID!!

"He just had a bath" "She doesn't like collars" "He never leaves the front yard" "She's an indoor only cat!"

There is no good excuse for your pet to be caught with no form of identification. Many dogs and cats come into Stillwater Animal Welfare with cutesy collars, flea collars and some cats even come with cute little bell collars. But none of these help bring your pet home!
Keep an ID tag on your dog. It needs to have a number we can reach you at at any time. If you use your cell phone and seldom answer the home phone, put the cell number on there. If you are difficult to reach, put a second number on there as well, maybe a good friend or reliable neighbor. Your dog also needs to be wearing a current rabies tag. If you absolutely cannot keep a tag on your dog, write your number legibly in permanent marker on the collar.
Some people are not comfortable keeping collars on cats. This doesn't mean your cat gets to get away with traveling sans ID! Ask your vet about microchipping your pet as a form of permanent ID. Keep the information current, and have your vet scan your pet at every check up to make sure the chip still works. Strays are scanned for microchips when they are turned in to Animal Welfare.

We want your pet to get back where it belongs- your house.
So from all of us at Stillwater Animal Welfare and the Humane Society of Stillwater, get some ID on those precious pets!
