We've used Fi Nano too and had a pretty similar experience. The lifetime registration alone saved us a ton of stress because we didn't have to chase adopters later to finish the paperwork or pay extra fees. Everything stayed consistent and easy to manage, which matters a lot when you've got multiple intakes happening at once.
The universal scanning part has been huge. We had a couple of dogs picked up by different shelters in our area and both places pulled the info immediately. It's not flashy tech, but it works and keeps things simple.

For our rescue, we've had a great experience using Fi Nano microchips. They've been a very practical option for a volunteer-based rescue like ours because they balance cost, ease of use, and reliability. They're inexpensive, universally scannable, and include free lifetime registration, which is a huge plus when you're managing a lot of dogs and working within a tight budget.
For adopters, Fi Nano also provides peace of mind. Once the chip is registered, there are no ongoing fees, and if a dog ever gets lost, most shelters or vets can scan it and pull up the owner's information. We always remind adopters to still keep a collar and tags on their dogs, keep their contact info updated, and remember that a microchip is not a GPS tracker, but an important backup form of ID.

What program is the best and inexpensive to keep track of Microchips in house? What chips are mostly used by other rescues?
