Micro-chipping Update

This is Maya a very beautiful Husky pup

 A big thank you to all our supporters old and new that visited our orange trailer at Jollyes, Flint on Saturday. Despite a lot going on in the High Street we still had a number of 2 and 4 legged visitors, even some past residents of NCAR visited us, which is always great. As you can imagine when Maya came to be micro-chipped she proved to be quite an attraction. But we also had a visit from Noe, a recent resident, now happily re-homed. It was great to see Noe so happy with his new family

A dog being micro-chipped

On the day we micro-chipped 16 dogs and 2 cats which, in the event that they go missing, should ensure a speedy return to their anxious owners.


It only takes a couple of minutes and that is taken up with the paperwork mainly. So a couple of minutes of your time can ensure a safe return of your pets if they are found roaming and all for only £10 (NCAR Price).


We will be publishing where our orange trailer is visiting throughout the summer so if you want your pet micro-chipping, visit us at NCAR or our trailer it's at an event near you this summer.


Thank you Jollyes for publicising our event and doing all you can to help get as many pets micro-chipped as possible.


As I prepared this blog BBC Crimewatch Roadshow was promoting micro-chipping for all pets following a story on pet thefts.

This is what a micro-chip looks like

And if you are wondering how a micro-chip works, well it's a sophisticated electronic device which has been pre-programmed with a unique number, it is implanted in to your pet via a small injection, very similar to that of a vaccination. 
Your pet's unique MicroChip identification number is registered on the UK Database alongside your contact details. 
As your pet's MicroChip contains no battery it is read using a special scanner, which powers the MicroChip allowing it to send a signal back to the scanner. This is then displayed as a number on the screen of the scanner.


And how big is it? Well slightly bigger than a grain of rice, we can show you one when you visit to get your pet chipped.


MicroChipping your pet is a simple procedure that will stay with your pet for life! 

Twitter to the rescue: Owner reunited with her lost dog

A devastated animal owner who lost her dog Patch when he jumped aboard a train has been reunited with her beloved pet after spotting him on Twitter.

Deirdre Anglin was left heartbroken when her pet Jack Russell Patch disappeared from her home on Tuesday night and all her attempts to find him failed.

But when she logged on to her Twitter account she saw a tweet about a 'lost dog' with a photo attached and discovered it was her pet Patch.

Reunited: Deirdre Anglin back with her Jack Russell terrier Patch after spotting a tweet about him on the website Twitter

The adventurous Jack Russell had jumped on a commuter train from rural Kilcock, County Kildare, to Dublin 30 kilometres away.

Irish Rail sent a 'Lost dog!' tweet with a photo attachment after Patch arrived in Dublin station on Wednesday morning without an owner.

Missing: Ms Anglin recognised Patch in this picture tweeted by Irish Rail

The message was retweeted 500 times in just 32 minutes until it was spotted by Ms Anglin who quickly replied to Irish Rail: 'That's my dog!'

Staff aboard the train discovered Patch shortly after leaving Kilcock and nicknamed him Checker as he followed them around while they inspected tickets and also searched for his owner.

When they arrived at the train's final stop at Pearse Street station in the heart of the capital it became clear the dog had no owner on board.

Staff then tweeted that they had a found a lost dog and also posted a picture of Patch.

Irish Rail spokesman Barry Kenny said staff at Pearse Station had quickly become attached to Patch and were disappointed to see him go when Ms Anglin came to collect him.

He said: 'It was good she showed up so quickly, because the staff in the office were getting quite attached to him.'

Ms Anglin thanked Irish Rail for posting Patch's photo on Twitter and all the other retweeters that helped her find Patch so quickly.

Irish Rail and Anglin posted a series of photos documenting her Dublin reunion with Patch, their return train trip, and even their car journey home.

She tweeted: 'Thanks to everyone involved in getting Patch back to us.'

The power of Twitter: The Irish Rail 'Lost dog!' message was retweeted 500 times in just 32 minutes
