Dog ID Tags
When I got my dog my local shelter gave me 3 dog tags. A blue flower looking one for rabies a round silver one and then a even smaller round metal one. I lost both of the silver ones and I'm trying to remember what they were so I can re purchase them. Does anyone know what they might be? I live in wpg, mb

Typically, the shelter will give the new owner a "please contact the shelter if this dog is lost" id tag... If the shelter is a good shelter, that tag will have a file attached to it with your information and the dogs medical work that they did for you. To be honest. I wouldn't really worry about it. You want the dog coming back to you, not the shelter again. I don't have good experiences with shelters, I know there are good ones out there... but sometimes the dogs don't make it back to their owners. But I would suggest you get your dog microchipped. You can put all the needed information on that chip and the dog will come back to you whether the dog still has a collar on. Micro Chips are about $50 bucks to put in. If you keep an eye open for clinics, you can get them even cheaper... The micro chip has saved a lot of dogs from being lost.

I would suggest asking the shelter because local laws can vary as to what information the dog needs. One could have been the dog's license.
I looked up the Winnipeg website and found this: Winnipeg.ca - UD -Community Services Department
I don't know if it will help answer all of your questions.
Edit to add: The FAQs have some interesting information if you adopted from them, the animal should be micro chipped already. http://winnipeg.ca/cms/animal/faqs/adoption_faq.stm#2

I know in Winnipeg, because I used to live there :)
That if you loose the tag, you can either go to the vet that issued them and have them replaced, or through the shelter for a small cost.
You don't really need the rabis one unles you are leaving the country.
I am apusher for the micro chip as well, but most shelters use micro chipping. Was the larger silver one anything to do with registering you dog with the city? I know my dog gets 3, one for Rabies, one for being registered, and one showing up to date on all other vaccines.

From what I was looking at on-line, I fully agree. If they are like that in reality, that's great.

Tags for pack

I finally purchased a back pack for Rex, this week while we were in windsor. But here's the thing, he doesn't have a collar, all his tags are on his harness, and he can't have his harness on if he has his pack on. So I found a great tag online, I'm going to get it laminated and I will then sew it...
