Dogs and cats meet as Governor Pat Quinn signed a measure into law to help reunite lost pets with their owners to demand that animal shelters to be more diligent in checking microchip containing identification information. Quinn signed the Bill in society Anti-Cruelty in Chicago surrounded by pets to be taken and some that have already been approved. (Nancy stone, Chicago Tribune and on August 3, 2011)Governor Pat Quinn today signed a measure into law to help reunite lost pets with their owners to demand that animal shelters to be more diligent in checking microchip containing identification information.

Shelters and animal control facilities must analyze the chips implanted between the modules of shoulder, at least once within 24 hours of receiving a dog or a cat.

A second analysis is required before an animal can be approved, he moved to another facility or slaughtered. Workers must also make a physical inspection to search tags, tattoos or any other form of identification that may help to locate the owner of the animal.

The idea is to avoid that animals slipping through the cracks in occupied facilities often composed of volunteers. However, there is no mechanism for implementing shelter abide by new rules.

Supporters say many shelters already they have their own protocols, some of which are stronger than the law, and are hopeful that the measure will highlight the importance of checking for chips more than once.

"When you lose a dog or someone who has been with you with unconditional love for years and years, really afflicts everyone in the family and we want everything possible in Illinois do to pet owners held with their pets", Quinn said during an appearance on the Anti-Cruelty in Chicago society. "The Bill I'm signing actually is a project of law practices better, is already used in many places in Illinois and we want to make sure that this is the standard in our State."

Quinn used her love for animals campaign last fall, even taking his beloved Yorkshire terrier, Bailey, to appearances. Quinn today unveiled his dog of 14 years died a few weeks ago. The Governor said he is considering to adopt another dog soon.
