    I found this girl wandering around at the entrance of Charlesland this morning at about 10am. She is medium sized and is wearing a brown leather collar. It has an orange band on it saying "scan me" I took her up to the Vet but no chip was found. She is well looked after and is very well trained. We walked around Charlesland with her for ages to see if anyone was looking for her but noone approched us. She is happily curled up by the fire now and is safe with us. I would really like to have her reunited with her family as they must be seriously missing her. If you know her can you PM me? Thanks!!

    Would be ironic if the dog was called Scan Me.

    This is probably a really really long shot but I took in a stray called Boike (pronounced Boy-key) on new years eve 1999. The poor thing was terrified with the fireworks. This dog is the image of it. I know the lady who owned the dog has had dogs like it ever since. They lived down by the bridge at the harbour on the cinema side about 3-4 houses up (I think). If you were to call down there any of the neighbours would know. At the time Boike kept going missing and the owner told me a good while after that they were micro chipping the dog. I know it seems like a long shot as the dog was 1-2 when I found it and thats 10 years ago. I passed them last summer and heard them call Boike??? Could be a sister or daughter!!

    sorry dont reconise it but fair play to you for taking her in and making an effort in finding her owner. i wish people would invest the 3 euro or so it costs to get a tag with a phone number on it!

    Thanks guys. We still have her! She is such a dote but we really cant keep her. We have been walking around the village with her but noone has approached us at all. I have put up a poster in Superquinn and will put more up around the place. I really would love if we could get her home for Christmas!

    Might be a good idea to give the local vet a call as people generally call them at a time of missing a pet.

    Sometimes the microchip-slips down the body so the scanners don't pick it up on the normal spots. Ive seen this happen a few times whereby they do a quick scan and it doesn't pick up anything when in actual fact there is a chip there.
    Did the vet do a really thorough search on the body? It would be unusual for a dog to have s tag saying scan me and not have a chip.

    Good luck and well done on taking the dog in.

    my dog's chip moved to her chest from her neck, did they check her all over?
    good luck!
