From time to time here I run appeals to help find missing pets. Some end in joy, some not. One thing that will help bring a successful resolution to losing a beloved pet is to get them microchipped. The process is safe, only causes momentary discomfort, and could help identify your best pal should they go astray.

Walsall and District RSPCA are this Saturday offering the chance to get your pet chipped for a pocket pleasing £5 at Catshill Community Centre, Brownhills, from 10:30am to 2:30pm.

This is a great initiative, and should the worst happen, could well help your mate find their way back home safely.

While we’re on, I know nothing of Catshill Community Centre – if the organisers would like to drop me a line, please do. I’d love to advertise your events and find out what you’re up to. Mail me please: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com.

Thanks to Phil for putting me onto this.

Thanks to reader Phil for the tipoff.
