<br />
<span style="font-size:16px;">Every Shake A Paw Rescue and Adoption dog will come with a microchip already implanted. Pet microchips are very small, roughly the size of a grain of rice and are implanted just beneath your pet&#39;s skin between their shoulder blades. Implanting the microchip is quick and safe similar to a routine shot. A pet microchip uses a radio frequency known as RFID to transmit the ID number stored on the microchip to the scanning device that reads the pet&#39;s unique number and displays it. Pet Microchips are not a GPS Tracking Device. Pet Microchips do not require a power source so there are never any batteries to replace or charge.<br />
<br />
Since there are no moving parts or mechanics, a microchip will last your pet&#39;s entire lifetime. It is important to register this unique microchip number with your contact information so that you can be reached immediately 24 hours a day if your pet is lost or found.</span><br />

<font color="#000000" size="4"><b>Why do I have to register my pet&#39;s microchip?</b></font><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:16px;">Once implanted, your dogs microchip is merely just a device that contains a unique number. For your personal security and your pet&#39;s protection, your emergency contact information must be linked to that unique Microchip.<br />
<br />
It is important to register this unique microchip number with your contact information so that you can be reached immediately 24 hours a day if your pet is lost or found. When a missing pet is found, the shelter, vet or other recovering organization will scan the pet with a specialized pet microchip scanner to determine if a microchip is present. If the scanner detects the presence of a microchip, it will display only the unique microchip number on the read out. If that unique identifier is registered in a participating database the facilty scanning your lost pet will be able to determine that the pet is registered to a pet owner and call to inform you that your pet has been found.</span><br />
