    You can call animal control and get the owners information

    No you can’t. That would be a breach of privacy. Animal control will ask you bring the dog in for holding and contact the owners themselves. That’s why the liscense tags don’t have more than a serial number and the animal’s name. It also costs nothing to get them checked for a chip at animal control; it costs the owner to get them released.

    I’m guessing you don’t actually have dogs.

      Ours is public, or atleast when signing up you have the option.

      I’ve held a dog and they called the owner to come grab it from my place as well. It’s just simpler and easier. Can’t do that with a microtag.
