They spent a couple of days putting posters up all over the place, spoke to eveyone they saw about Phoebe, as well as walking through some of the forest looking for her. A lady who lives in Tursac area read one of the posters and had recognized the image as looking like a dog she had seen some miles away around Montignac. She reported this - and then lots of 'asking around' that area was done. It was then discovered that a local man had been seen with her. It turned out that last week, this man had seen Phoebe wanding around near his home - had asked around to see if anyone knew who she was - no joy - so he took her in.  So she has at least been looked after kindly by the man and his family - so she has been kept safe from harm. The man contacted Phoenix once he was made aware that she was a lost dog, not just abandoned, and then the Phoenix team picked her up. So a combination of things, but ultimately the generosity and kindness of strangers has meant our Phoebe is found, and is well, healthy and safe. Thank you all for such tremendous support during this terrible time. I cannot express how we feel now - but you may imagine - it is something along the lines of deliriously happy!!!!!!!! A very thankful, Boo    Report

Recently someone near here found a dog, but didn't know about the chip.  She didn't even understand how it works and when I suggested taking him to the vet to see, she was worried about having to pay for the visit.  So it's really necessary to have an "outside identity" as well. I'm very happy for you and Phoebe Boo.     animalaidsaintaubin.monsite.orange.fr/ Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful    Report

When we had our youngest dog microchipped the vet also gave us a disk to put on his collar saying he had a chip. It certainly worked when he got out one time - someone took him to their local vet who rang us after scanning him and finding out the details.    Report

This is probaby really a question for Christine, or if anyone else knows the answer, please let me know. Our dog spends a lot of time with us here in France.  He is chipped but not tattooed.  He always wears a collar with two tags on it: One has our French address & phone number & "Puce", the other the English details. My question:  Can I register two addresses against the microchip? If so, how do I go about it? Many thanks.      Report
