Pet owners have been urged by an animal welfare charity to ensure their dogs' microchip details are kept up to date.
The appeal, by the Scottish SPCA, came after six stray micro-chipped dogs were handed in to a Glasgow rescue centre.
The animals' owners cannot be traced as the information on a central microchip register is out of date.
It is believed that they moved to the Glasgow area and forgot to update their contact details. The SSPCA hopes the owners can still be traced.
The dogs being cared for in the charity's re-homing centre in Glasgow were registered as living in central Scotland and the north of England.
Normally dogs which have been micro chipped can be re-united with their owners in a matter of hours.
When owners cannot be identified the dogs are usually put up for re-homing after seven days.
The SSPCA has extended that period in the case of these strays in the hope the owners come forward.
