In addition, dogs that are found twice by the pound are required to get a microchip so that as you say, many who deny ownership, won't be able to get away with that anymore. You say, "why should responsible people be forced to do something they may not want to do," this only applies to people who allow their dogs to run loose, would you call them responsible? It will have no effect on the average pet owner, except your yard will be kept free of stray dogs and cats eventually. It's too bad we need laws, and if everyone was responsible, educated, and honest, we wouldn't, but they aren't, and we do.

IT is not just for dogs running at large..It is even if you have a neighbor that calls animal control to complain and someone comes out to your home from Animal Control and you are sited then that is an offense...
