"Scout's Law" - Seeking legislation to end senseless deaths of pets who weren't scanned for microchip ownership before euthanasia

**************************Please sign our petition - see below for the link

Find the pets' real owners before they're put to sleep

In April, we adopted our 2 year old boy Scout to a Southern California woman.

Without telling us, she put the boy to sleep.

He was microchipped to our group and the vet never scanned him or called us before he was put down.

We're now starting a huge initiative to tell legislators that thousands of pets are being put to sleep without vets and animal professionals first checking for a microchip. They need to call the person registered to the microchip to verify real ownership of the pet before it is put down.

Scout would still be alive today had the vet scanned him. He'd be back in our rescue after the vet called us, seeing that we were his microchipped owner.

If you'd like to help us in our huge uphill battle, please go to our link below and sign our petition.
