Found dog Sheko
Why chipped dogs must also be registered
Sheko came as found dog to Gut Aiderbichl in Henndorf. A policeman was at the main station in Salzburg on the small Shih Tzu attention became. With matted fur, without a leash, smelling of cigarette smoke and perfume, so thin that you could feel the spine, he stood there: Sheko - chipped - but not registered.
We fetched Shekowho will be three years old this June, from the fire station. Our animal keepers took care of Sheko with food and lots of cuddles.
Sheko has a heart like a lion
In general, the Shih Tzu a strong self-confidence. Perhaps this dog breed also therefore as guard dog at Buddhist temples. in use? At the same time his nature is lovable, cheerful and also playful, intelligent.
Sheko showed himself very charming, and had the animal caretakers in a flash around his little paws. His fur was groomed and one was especially important: Sheko wished for a full food bowl.
Chipping and registering dogs
Since 2010, the Austrian Animal Protection Act according to §24a, that it is in duty ishis dog (from the 3. monthbut in any case before the first transfer) with a chip and register it in the pet database. Runaway, abandoned, left behind or stolen dogs can be identified thanks to the chip and the registration by means of a reader. by means of a reader easily identified and thus returned to the owner returned to the owner.
The microchip is a data carrier the size of a grain of rice
As with an injection, the microchip is inserted into the dog by the veterinarian using a cannula on the left side of the neck under the skin. Here it should remain seated in the tissue unchanged. The chip is a tiny implant on which a 15-digit identification number is stored.
The subsequent registration in the pet database can be done in person via the citizen card online, or through the veterinarian. The registered data contains personal and animal-related information. An inserted chip without registration is uselessbecause without registration the owner cannot be easily traced.
Dog owners who do not register their dog in the pet database commit an administrative offense and are punished according to § 38 of the Animal Protection Act with a fine of € 3.750,00 or in case of repetition with € 7.500,00.
Sheko's master picked up his little friend again - freshly coiffed, bathed and fed. We wish our little friend the very best for his future.
In this sense: sincerely, your Gisela
