Microchip status and gender of sheltered dogs as factors affecting their length of stay
Original language description
This study is focused on microchip status and gender of sheltered lost and abandoned dogs as factors affecting their length of stay, in a one municipal Czech shelter, in a city where mandatory microchipping has been introduced. Lost female as well as male dogs with microchip remained significantly shorter (median 0 days) in shelter than lost females or males without microchip (median 1 day). This study didn?t recognize neutered individuals. Abandoned males with microchip remained significantly longer (18 days) in the shelter than males without microchip (12 days); abandoned female dogs with microchips had significantly longer (18 days) length of stay than those without microchip (9 days). There was no significant difference in the length of stay of abandoned or lost males and females. Microchipping of dogs is related to faster reunification process, but could hinder adoption process. Better understanding of factors that positively affects reunification or adoption process in sheltered dogs can significantly shorten their length of stay in Czech shelters and help to improve adoption process itself, last but not least improve sheltered dogs welfare.
