PARDON ME, BUT - WHERE'S YOUR DOG'S
LICENSE I.D. TAG?
LIFE OR DEATH?
A TAG MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!
Can you guarantee your dog will never become lost? Of course not! Someone could leave the gate open, the leash or rope could break - or a number of things could take place. Your dog cannot tell people his address - but an identification tag can!
A License I.D. tag is a must! It's not only the law but it's the basic protection your pet needs. In addition, a tag with your own personal name, address and phone number is even more protection. Follow that with the latest technology of having your pet
micro-chipped by your veterinarian. Tags can fall off or be taken off. Animals are scanned if they ever arrive at the
Calcasieu Parish Animal Services &
Adoption Center.
People are more apt to rescue a lost dog who has a license & personal tag, knowing that the dog has an owner who cares. A dog can be returned immediately when found, avoiding the delay which can happen over weekends, after-hours, and on holidays when the Animal
Services Licensing Agency is closed. Tags offer that extra margin of safety if
your pet is impounded in violation of "at-large" laws, regardless of the reason the pet got loose. Animal
Service Officer's can trace tagged animals to their owners or find the pet's veterinarian in case it's been hit by a car. Tagged animals are held longer than stray animals without tags. House notes and phone calls are attempted to locate an owner. Finally a certified letter is sent in a final attempt to locate the pet's "person"! Almost 100% of tagged animals are reclaimed and returned home through the efforts of Shelter personnel. It can make the difference for your pet!
ISN'T YOUR DOG WORTH THE PRICE OF A LICENSE & I.D. TAG?
The chance you take with your pet's life may be his last! Be a Responsible Pet Owner!
Love 'Em - Leash 'Em - License 'Em!
