So glad you found Mei Ling!

I am so glad that you think it is her! I'm sure that you can ask to have her information changed to your since you do have a vet and all paperwork to prove ownership.

I believe it was the breeder that was contacted by the vet who scanned the lost dog. When the breeder didn't get back to the person who had the dog it was rehomed. Chipping is only as good as the person who finds your lost dog wants it to be.

All of the YHR rescued are chipped and the registration can be changed to the new owners after they are adopted. So it is possible to change the chip information.

You should have your vet scan and keep the chip number in your vets records along with a picture of your dog for identification purposes. That way if something were to ever happen you could refer to your vet for confirmation that they indeed belong to you.
