Sister in law when living with us, didn't latch our gate. Dog got out. SPD picked her up. Took her to golf rose. Even though she had tags on with our number. Golf rose wouldn't let me pick her up till the next morning, and I had to have her rabies shot paperwork faxed over from my vet, even though she had the tag. I also had to pay to have her chipped, which all it does is give the vet a phone number to call if your pet is picked up. Even though she had a tag with our number on it. $175 to get her out if I remember right. Counter bitch kept calling her a stray. No cunt, she is not a stray.
Ah.... I think Golf Rose is where all PDs take animals they pick up by default, so I don’t blame them for it.
First I’ve heard of them requiring a chip, but mine have had them since they were each fixed so mine have always had them essentially.
