Phase 305 Adam. Hey, I'm dealing with a theft report. I guess this gentleman is saying that some gal has his dog and she will give him back if they give him the chip number, I guess, to his dog. Is that a thing?
00:27
So is she just looking for proof that it belonged to him or do we know for sure the dog belongs to him?
00:34
I guess she's looking for proof that the dog belongs to him, because I guess she was, or the dog was taken to the Animal Rescue League,
00:44
and then I guess somebody else picked her up. I'm not sure what the time frame is, but I just didn't know if you're able to look up anybody in your guys' system, potentially for, if they have, like, a name attached to a dog or something like that.
01:03
Yeah, I can definitely do that. Do you guys carry microchip scanners?
01:09
No, we do not.
01:13
Frank, I'd be happy.
01:15
If you are able to meet me where the dog is, I'd be happy to scan the dog, and then I can look up the information, but that would probably be the extent of what I would be able to do. Is that something that would be helpful to you?
01:30
Yeah,
01:31
let me call the person that has the dog and see if I can do that, just see if they're even in the city of Des Moines.
01:39
I'm going to try to give them a call to me why they're not giving back the dog, but I will get back to you on that here in a minute.
01:49
Okay, would you like my cell phone number?
01:54
Better.
01:58
Are you ready?
02:01
Yes, ma'am.
02:05
(number withheld), and I'm going to be heading back to the Animal Services Building to drop off a couple animals. If you just want to give me a call whenever you have more info, feel free to do that and I can meet you wherever.
