Cool Pet Sites has a great article about being prepared to evacuate your home in an emergency with your dogs. Although the article itself focuses on cats, just substitute the word “dog” or “puppy” where ever you see “cat” or “kitten”.
Many thanks to Karen Crooke of Terrificats Cattery for allowing us to post this article and spread the word.
The New York City ASPCA helps city residents get their pets spayed and neutered via a traveling van that goes into neighborhoods so that people don’t have to go find a vet. They have no cost services for feral cats and dogs, and for dog owners that are on public assistance, and low cost for other residents. Their van schedule can be found here. If you know a pet owner that needs to have their cat or dog neutered or spayed, send them to that site to find the schedule for their area.

A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of a dog, cat, or other animal. The chips are about the size of a large grain of rice and are based on a passive RFID technology. Microchipping dogs and other animals that are outdoors a lot is especially important and can help in ownership disputes if a dog gets lost.
Tattooing is another, older method for identifying animals. Tattoos can be difficult to find and won’t even be looked for on most pets. Once the fur grows back over the tatoo it isn’t easy to find.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.
An RFID tag is an object that can be stuck on or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal and can also be used for other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal.
