Does it have a rabies tag?

Call Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County at (937) 225-4460 and they will be able to find the owner’s information for you.

Does it have a microchip?

Checking for a microchip requires a special scanning tool. Many local police departments have one of these tools, or the Animal Resource Center can scan for a microchip.

Has it been reported as lost?

Many lost dogs are reported to the Animal Resource Center, or online at 24PetConnect. Check to see if the dog has been reported as lost here:
