As many pets go missing each year, a charitable organization seeks to help Hernando County residents keep track of their furry companions
The microchip uses radio-frequency identification, a technology developed by the Digital Angel Corporation and is made to facilitate the recovery of pets, said Julie Lux, spokesperson for Schering-Plough Corporation. Once the microchip is embedded, a scanner is waved over the pet that picks up an ID number. Should someone find a missing pet and bring it to a vet or shelter, they can identify the animal by its ID number and contact the company which then matches it to pre-registered information and afterwards contacts the owner, said Lux.
