If you are a dog owner please get a collar with a riveted tag with a name, address and current telephone number preferably
your cell phone number.
Today I found a Golden Retriever and a Black Lab hanging around my pond, I was able to locate the owner by making phone calls to my neighbors.
Neither of the dogs were collared or as I found out later chipped.
In La Porte county if your dog is located by someone and taken to the small animal shelter the owner will pay a $25.00 recovery fee plus a $10.00 a day boarding fee.
In addition you must show proof of current vaccinations and chipping of the animal.
Some advise if your going to put a collar on your dog don't hang tags with their identifiers on them because these can easily get lost or worse yet hung up on something where the animal can't get loose.
In addition if your going to put a collar on them make it a bright collar such as Hunter Safety Orange not camo colored so they can be seen much better.
Cabela's and Bass Pro offer real nice vinyl coated collars that will dry quickly and have a brass tag riveted to the collar which both will last for a very long time.
