Things Remembered has tags and wouldn't blink to do a fireplug shaped ID tag on a necklace with a human name on it, that's what they do anyhow. They have (last time I looked, about a month ago) circular ones in stainless, brass like, and plastic, fireplug ones in the same with additional colors for the plastic ones, dog tag shaped ones (meaning rectangular rounded ones) in silver, brass and gold (really and truly) with the addition of having red "Medic Alert" ones, and several other styles, and could probably engrave any piece of metal you took in. They have both the ones that hang and ones that are plates that are mounted to collars (the idea being that you have it made for your dog). Then there are the Army/Navy surplus stores like "U S Calvary" in Kentucky (which ships worldwide) where you can get REAL military dog tags, pair of two, five lines of about 25 characters each, with the red medic alert ones as well. Usually about $ 5.00 US a pair and they even sell the silencers and covers. The kiosk is where I got my tag, as shown in my picture. It's about an inch in diameter and says "Property of Mary If found please return" Plus, most times the clerks won't care what you want engraved on the tag. If they do, then you talk to the manager. You also don't have to go back to that store again, if you are in another city. You can also have the tag engraved online at a place like petsmart.com and shipped to you. At that point you are one anonymous person among thousands. Or you can go straight to the source they get it from and have the engraving company advertised in pet magazines or TV Guide make it and ship it to you. In that case you never have to meet. Just a few thoughts.
