Five years ago I placed a retired mom with a couple in a town 30 miles from me. She was microchipped but they didnt transfer the chip to their name.

Last week I received a call from a pet hospital about 50 miles from them.
Cinnamon had been given to this lady by a relative who said they "found" it in the town where her owner lived. They gave it to the lady who lived 50 miles away . She was concerned that the Yorkie might belong to someone who was looking for it so took her to get it scanned at the pet hospital in her town.

Through the microchip they found me since it was still registered in my name, and I was able to call the owners, who would have never found her since she was now in a town 50 miles from them.

I would definitely microchip. Cinnamon would have never have been found without the chip.
