Do You Pay Your Annual HomeAgain Fee?

I believe here it's about $12 a year. I don't pay it...
I got Kola microchipped as a saftey precaution as most people do, but IMO I would rather pay the whole sum of what I owe if Kola got lost, as opposed to paying $12 per year when Kola won't (optimistic thinking) get lost.

Fang, Shunka, and Marko are all getting microchipped on the 14th... The local HS is microchipping for $20, as opposed to the $55 it is here at the vets office.

I don't pay the annual fee. It's for the membership and all the extras, which I don't need. You are still in the database if you don't pay, the membership is just for all the extra stuff.

Nope. I'm capable of making my own posters and phone calls...

Nope. They microchip is still registered, and if your dog is at the shelter and they need to call you, you don't have to pay anything. You paid the registration fee at the time of microchipping. The annual fee is just for "extras". I don't need the extras.

Hey.....I might take some of the cats to be 'chipped on the 14th.....maybe we'll run into each other. Do you have helpers coming to manage all 3 dogs? I took all 3 dogs to be 'chipped last time they had an event, and it was crazy. There were hundreds of dogs and cat there, and it was just nuts. I had to keep the boys in the car, and bring them around the back when it was their turn. Even so, some people were quite nasty about Moose (Rottweilers scare people

) . So make sure you have helpers.

i paid mine on Titch for the 1st yr when he was 'chipped and i am going to put Tir's in there (i figure at this late in the game Lacey don't need it and Saoirse is 'chipped thru Avid [i think]).....but i have gotten 3 emails of dogs lost w/in 50 miles of me since Titch was done and that is something i can't do on getting the word out that he is missing if he were to get lost.....so, for that alone i think i'll keep paying the annual on them.....yeah, the rest i can do, as well, but if all i have to make is one call to HomeAgain and they do the rest while i'm out looking, that saves that much more time.....

There'll be 3 of us, since Marko is partially the boss's dog, and then my dad will be with us. If you can hear a guy talking really loud standing by 2 mutts and holding a Black lab pup, you've found us.

I wouldn't go with someone to atleast hold one of the dogs, I would never be able to handle it.
