The current situation of the stray animal problem
- Huge number: According to statistics, there are millions of stray animals on the streets every year, and only a few of them can be taken in by rescue stations.
- Difficulty in management: Rescue stations need to set up a file for each animal to record its health condition, behavioural characteristics and other information, but the traditional way is inefficient.
- Low adoption rate: Due to opaque information or lack of reliable identification means, many potential adopters have doubts about the background of stray animals, resulting in a low adoption rate.
These problems not only increase the operational pressure on rescue stations, but also make it difficult for many stray animals to find suitable families.
Advantages of Pet Microchips
Pet microchip is a kind of miniature electronic chip implanted in the body of pets, which has the following advantages:
- Permanent identification: once implanted, the microchip is bound to the animal for life and will not be lost or damaged.
- Information storage: the microchip can store the basic information, health status, behavioural characteristics of the animal.
- Quick reading: through the special scanning equipment, the rescue station can read the microchip information quickly and improve the management efficiency.
- Global application: the microchip meets international standards and can be identified and read globally.
Practical application of pet microchips in rescue stations
- Optimize information management
Each rescued animal can be implanted with a microchip to record its rescue time, health condition, treatment records and other information. Rescue station staff only need to scan the microchip to quickly understand the background of the animal and improve management efficiency.
- Increase adoption rate
Through the microchip, potential adopters can quickly learn about the animal’s health condition, character traits and other information, thus enhancing their confidence in adoption. In addition, the microchip can also record the adopter’s contact information to facilitate follow-up visits.
- Prevent secondary abandonment
The microchip can record the adoption information of the animal and help the rescue station to track the whereabouts of the animal. If an animal is found to be abandoned twice, the rescue centre can intervene in time to protect the rights of the animal.
- Promote social trust
Through microchips, rescue stations can provide more transparent and reliable services, enhancing the public’s trust and support for rescue stations.
Practical Case: Successful Practice of a Rescue Station
A pet rescue centre in a city saw a significant increase in adoption rates after introducing microchip technology. The person in charge of the rescue station said, ‘Previously, we needed to spend a lot of time manually recording and searching for information, but now we only need to scan the microchip, which can be done in a few seconds. This not only improves our management efficiency, but also makes adopters trust our services more.’
In addition, the rescue centre has successfully helped several stray animals find new homes through microchips. One adopter said, ‘The dog I adopted had its health status and background information confirmed through the microchip, which gave me great peace of mind. The microchip not only simplifies the adoption process, but also gives me more trust in this rescue station.’
Pet microchips are not only a great tool for rescue shelter management, but also an important means of helping stray animals get back on their feet. If you are a pet rescue station operator or manager, you may want to consider introducing microchip technology to provide more efficient and reliable services for stray animals.
