Welcome to the Gen Wags
Love, Tag, Chip Challenge
At Gen Wags one of our signature focuses is on pet safety and reuniting lost pets.
Every day countless numbers of pets go missing. If it happened to YOUR pet today, what are the chances you would be reunited?
Chances can depend heavily on whether your pet has identification with current info to reach you.
Sadly many pets do not have a way to be tracked back to their owner.
Should a pet end up in a shelter, they may be put on “stray hold” period for strays to be reclaimed by their owners (check your local shelters’ policies). Unclaimed pets can quickly be adopted, pulled and moved by an outside rescue, and are even at risk of euthanasia.
What IS the Love, Tag, Chip Challenge?
Our challenge is designed to provide awareness about safety measures pet owners should take to protect their pets by providing a visible tag and registered microchip for their pets. By taking the challenge pet owners make that commitment!
Some owners feel that a microchip alone is sufficient, yet chips can fail to be read, or not be registered or have updated contact info. Similarly a tag can come off a pet rendering them unidentifiable without an updated microchip. This is why both are vital to give any pet the best chance of returning home should they suddenly and unexpectedly go missing!
So Tag, you’re it!
