There should be some assurance our chips are scannable, workable throughout this country.

I do know that the shelters in my area scan when a dog is brought in.

I had to go to the Shelter on Saturday and check on a male Yorkie that was listed. One of adopters, that adopted a Yorkie he has been missing for over a month now. We check every day. This particular shelter had just put this Yorkie on their web site, so I flew right over there. It wasn't the one we are looking for. However this poor baby did have a Micro Chip (Home Again) when they scanned it. The shelter called and the owner had not registered their information. I pray that baby get reunited with his owner.
I also pray every day that we find our adopters baby. He is Micro Chipped (Avid) We have called and listed him as lost and they (Avid) have at least 4 contacts for our group if he is found. We believe that someone has taken him and is just keeping him. This is so very sad.
