Puppy identification at adoption day

    I volunteer with my local rescue and we held a puppy adoption day yesterday. One problem we had was knowing which pup people were interested in when filling out applications.
    All pups were named and microchipped so could be identified by scanning but it slowed down things. Its hard to remember who is who when a litter all looks alike!
    Ive seen the coloured whelping collars but with thirty pups you run out of colours quickly!
    Any ideas are appreciated

    You could buy a bunch of these off the likes of eBay for cheap and attach them to the collars.

    Perhaps blue for boys and pink for girls, with a number written in the middle. :)

    My girl's litter had wool tied around their necks - she was the grey puppy lol. Cheap enough and you could twist colours around each other to combine and make up the 30 colours?

    We have these for inpatients. Adhesive on one end. Could write number on with a Sharpie. Although puppies could make it tough!

    Buy a lot of tags and engrave numbers on them. So litter one is 1 to 5 litter two is 6 - 11) and so on.
    It will also help to identy which dogs are littermates. Buy metal tags as they wont get chewed and you can re use them.
